About an hour later, Jia Xiongfang received a notice from Wang Bodang, saying that he had successfully reached the other side of the foothills, and after sending scouts to investigate, he found that there was no ambush at the exit and could pass.

Jia Xiong breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Thinking that Yu Ming was secret, he didn't set up a heavy defense in this mountain road, giving himself an opportunity to take advantage of. He immediately ordered the army to speed up the pace and march into the mountain road to join Wang Bodang.

However, Li Mi, who was heading to the north of the town, was completely unaware of this change, and he was even more anxious after he found out that Luo Shixin had led 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to block the retreat of Wang Bodang's army, and that the 50,000 infantry who were biting Jin were trying to encircle and annihilate Wang Bodang.

He knew very well that if Wang Bodang's 50,000 horses were completely annihilated, not only would he lose a large number of elites, but the morale of his army would also be ruined.

Therefore, Li Mi immediately ordered the soldiers to hurry up, and they must rush to the battlefield before dawn, and strive to rescue their confidant.

……

In the early morning of the next day, when it was dawning, Li Mi finally led the main force of the Wei army to the outskirts of Beibi Town. After rushing overnight, although the Wei army was tenacious and tenacious, it also felt a little tired.

Li Mi asked the Wei soldiers to rest in place for a while, and at the same time ordered the soldiers in the army to bury the pot and make rice, and then sent scouts to inquire about the news to see if they could contact the trapped Wang Bodang army.

It didn't take long for the scouts to hurry back, saying that the Zhou army had planted a large number of cruising marksmen in front of them, and they couldn't sneak past them at all. However, they saw from a distance that there were still lights in the tent of Wang Bodang's army, and there were soldiers patrolling outside the tent and at the gate of the camp, and it seemed that the Zhou army had not yet broken through the Wei army's camp.

After hearing this, Li Mi's heart was slightly relieved, and he secretly thought that after breakfast, he would immediately launch an attack. With Wang Bodang's ingenuity, after seeing the main force of his army join the battle group, he will definitely fight from the inside out, with the nearly 200,000 troops of himself and Wang Bodang combined, even if he can't completely annihilate Luo Shixin's 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, but it is not difficult to defeat this Zhang Xutuo's former general and merge Wang Bodang with his own army. At that time, taking advantage of the power of victory, he will conquer Beibi Town in one fell swoop, and completely annihilate the 50,000 horses that have bitten gold, so as to wash away the adverse effects of Shan Xiongxin's defeat and regain the initiative on the battlefield.

However, just as the Wei army had just cooked the meal and the soldiers in the army were ready to feast, they heard the golden drums on the opposite side, and the sound of "rumbling" footsteps sounded, and the Zhou army launched an attack at this juncture!

Li Mi was also stunned at this time: seeing that he was coming to help, the Zhou army did not step up the encirclement and annihilation of Wang Bodang's army, but instead attacked his own reinforcements first. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse, bringing about its own destruction?

His lieutenant general Bing Yuanzhen said: "King Wei, could it be that the Zhou army wants to build a siege to help?" Clearly attacking General Wang, but secretly trying to destroy us? ”

Before Li Mi could answer, Xu Shiji retorted: "How is this possible? At present, the Zhou army led by Cheng Yanjin in Beibi Town, and the Luo Shixin army, which is now returning halfway, are also separated by Wang Bodang's troops. This Luo Shixin wants to destroy us, I'm afraid the strength is not enough, right? He only has 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, and he has to leave people to defend Wang Bodang's troops to break through, how many troops can be invested to attack us? You know, we have a full 100,000 elites! ”

At this time, Li Mi looked at the combat map in front of him, and the current situation of the two armies was next to each other layer upon layer. To the north is the Yellow River, and to the south is the Bishan Mountains. In this plain area between mountains and rivers, the easternmost part was the Zhou army in Beibi Town, with 50,000 infantry, led by Cheng Yanjin.

Outside the town of Beipi, there were 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry led by his favorite general Wang Bodang, who established a simple camp outside the town.

On the periphery of Wang Bodang's military camp were 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry led by Zhou general Luo Shixin, who seemed to have arrived only yesterday, only a few hours earlier than him. From the information fed back, it was learned that they had only just set up a large camp, and had not yet built a fence and a camp.

"Got it! Luo Shixin must have been worried that I would be well prepared after I had rested. Then launch a strong attack with superior forces. In this way, he could not resist on this plain, so he wanted to take advantage of my unstable foothold and strike first. He knew that he couldn't defeat me with this little force, but he wanted to harass and drag our army with it! Li Mi thought he had seen through Luo Shixin's plan.

After thinking about this, he smiled and said, "But Luo Shixin, this army of only 20,000 soldiers to attack my hundreds of thousands, isn't it self-destruction?" ”

After saying that, Li Mi frowned, and after thinking for a while, Fang said to Xu Shiji: "Now the cavalry of our army will rest for the time being, and let the horses and soldiers eat and drink first." Let the Assault Battalion go first! Call me Fan Chao! ”

This Fan Chao is a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, who once served as Fan Gaici of the six Shangshu. After Yang Guang's death, Fan Gai committed suicide and martyrdom. After judging the situation, his son Fan Chao thought that Li Mi had the appearance of an emperor, so he led his family to surrender to Li Mi and was appointed as the commander of the assault battalion.

This assault battalion was not actually an official unit of the Wei army, it was just a ragtag unit recruited from the hungry. Almost all of this army was composed of simple-minded and simple-minded people, who had been blessed by Li Mi's opening of warehouses and grain. Li Mi adopted brainwashing methods for these people, instilling a lot of absurd ideas that he was the real destiny and could go to heaven if he died for Mi Gong.

As a result, this unit, although not very combat-ready, did not receive much formal military training. But everyone is loyal to Li Mi and is not afraid of death. These people are particularly brave and determined to fight. Even if the situation is unfavorable in the war, we will never back down and fight to the death.

When Li Mi faced the Sui army, he was almost invincible and invincible. Recently, Wang Shichong has been defeated one after another, which has a lot to do with these believers who are not afraid of death, fighting desperately at the cost of life and death.

And this is only called the assault battalion by Li Mi, the commander is Fan Chao, the assault battalion has a total of 20,000 troops, all of them are devout Li Mi believers, every time in battle, they are all dressed in armor with Li Mi's portrait, wrapped in a red turban, and rushed forward without fear of death.

Therefore, Li Mi planned to use this group of soldiers who were not afraid of death to attack as a death squad, and strive to break through the enemy's defensive formation.

Soon after, a herald came to inform him. A moment later, a middle-aged man wrapped in a red turban and wearing Mingguang armor appeared in front of Li Mima.

He bowed to Li Mi with a respectful expression.

"Fan Chao, now the Zhou army has launched an attack on us. But our army has just arrived at the battlefield, and neither the soldiers nor the horses have yet to rest......" Li Mi raised his eyes.

When Fan Chao heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said, "King Wei, please rest assured, let's take the lead in this battle!" My soldiers are warriors who are not afraid of death, and they are not afraid of hardship or tiredness......"

"Good! This king knows that at the critical moment, only the assault battalion can play the role of deciding the outcome of a war! After Li Mi heard this, he was also relieved.

Fan Chao immediately saluted Li Mi, and then walked out of the camp without looking back, and began to gather his subordinates. At this time, Li Mi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a gloomy smile on his face: "Let Zhou Jun taste the power of my assault battalion!" After the Zhou army has gone through a battle that is enough to break their will, the king's Wagang Iron Cavalry will be able to calmly defeat the other party! ”

……

The gentle spring breeze blew on both sides of the Yellow River, and at the southern foot of the mountain, the two armies of Zhou and Wei again set up a posture of attack. This time, it was still Cheng Yanjin who launched an attack on Li Mi, and Luo Shixin's troops did not attack together.

Cheng Yanjin put out a glaive formation, the whole army is in an arc configuration, like a crescent, this is an uncommonly used offensive formation, this formation focuses on the attack on the flank, and the frontal attack power is weak.

This array has a history of several years, and it has been used since the national period. But now the appearance of the Zhou and Wei armies on the battlefield made Li Mi a little surprised.

But Fan Chao didn't care about these at all, because he hadn't studied the formation at all.

At this time, I saw him swing the big knife in his hand violently, and shouted in his mouth: "Brave Wagang Army warriors. Follow me and kill all the enemies in front of you! We are fighting for the King of Wei, and I believe that he will be able to make the world live and work in peace and contentment! Come on! ”

With his roar, the 20,000 soldiers of the assault battalion shouted. The sound was like a stormy wave, which made Zhou Jun couldn't help but be surprised for a while.

"Kill all the enemies in front of you! Long live King Wei! The soldiers of the assault battalion, with neat steps, rushed forward.

Cheng Yanjin looked at the enemy army in front of him, and couldn't help but have some doubts: the Wei army had only suffered two defeats, and Li Mi's main force of the Wei army had only just arrived in Beibi Town, so it stands to reason that he should be very tired, why was the morale of the enemy army in front of him so high, and he looked like he was not afraid of death?

However, doubts are doubts, as the commander of the Zhou army's troops in Beibi Town, he still said loudly according to the previous arrangement: "Everyone, pay attention: the enemy army is about to enter the range of the trebuchet!" Trebuchet operators, get ready to call on your enemies! ”

The trebuchets at the forefront of the infantry phalanx immediately stepped forward and loaded the spoons of more than five small trebuchets with boulders the size of watermelons.

"Put!"

With Cheng Biting Jin's order, Zhou Jun's trebuchet let out an angry roar.

"Tom! Tong! Tong! ”

I saw more than five boulders the size of watermelons immediately soaring into the air, cutting arcs in the blue sky. Then he poured down on the soldiers of the Wei assault battalion on the march......

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Bursts of blood immediately splashed in the phalanx of the soldiers of the assault battalion, and the soldiers who were hit by the boulder immediately burst out of their brains and fell down with a scream. Some of the soldiers turned their heads and dodged the boulders, but they were hit in the shoulders and chests and abdomen, and their ribs and arms were broken, and they lay on the side and wailed.

On the battlefield, there were suddenly dead and wounded Wei soldiers and blood flowing everywhere, and the situation was unbearable.
