、、、、、、、、、、

Li Mi frowned, he vaguely heard the shouting and killing sound coming from the southern foot of the mountain, saw the smoke and dust floating in that direction, and knew that Shan Xiongxin had already fought with the Zhou army.

However, it is a little far away, the distance is at least more than dozens of miles, and it will take at least half a day for Tanma to find out the battle situation and then report back, so he still doesn't know which Zhou army and Shan Xiongxin had a battle, but judging from the marks on the map, the closest should be Qin Qiong's troops.

It's just that as soon as he came up, he didn't see the second Zhou army heading south.

Of course, it is also possible that after Yuming discovered Shan Xiongxin's army, he only took part of the cavalry, set off from Beibi Town, and walked along the southern foot of Bishan Mountain, relying on the cover of the woods in the mountains, hiding from the Wei army's exploration, and went to Shan Xiongxin instead.

"If Yuming wants to hide from our army's reconnaissance, the number of his troops should not exceed 20,000, and Shan Xiongxin has 10,000 cavalry, so there should not be much danger. It's just that if Yu Ming acts, Qin Qiong's troops will definitely cooperate. The combined strength of these two sides is more than Shan Xiongxin......"

Li Mi secretly said in his heart: "It's just that even if Shan Xiongxin is invincible!" But his soldiers and horses were all cavalry, while Qin Qiong's army was mostly infantry, with only more than 10,000 cavalry. Although it is impossible for Shan Xiongxin to overcome the flanking attack of these two teams, it is not a big problem to retreat with his whole body. If he can hold off Yuming for a while, then he can lead his army to Baima Ferry, join forces with Wang Bodang, destroy Luo Shixin's army first, and then turn around and attack Jindi Pass. ”

He didn't know that Yuming had played a trick with him, and he was not at Jindi Pass at all, but attacked Shan Xiongxin. And Li Mi didn't expect that Shan Xiongxin had been killed in battle, and his Wanjing Cavalry had completely collapsed.

Just as Li Mi was about to give the order to turn to the Baima Ferry, Tan finally hurriedly came to report: "King Qiwei, our army scouts have just discovered: Yuming sent 10,000 cavalry from Beibi Town yesterday night to the southern foot of Bishan Mountain, probably to intercept General Shan. ”

When Li Mi heard that Yuming had divided his troops, he was not angry but rejoiced: "Is Yuming staying in Beibi Town, or is he going to Shan Xiongxin?" ”

The scout hurriedly replied: "The scout saw that among the cavalry of the Zhou army going to the southern foot of the mountain, there was a young general dressed in white clothes and white armor, holding a cyan spear. ”

"That's it!" Li Mi was overjoyed.

He had expected that Yuming might personally intercept Shan Xiongxin, but he was not sure. After all, the commander of the first army went like this, and it was a risk. But he didn't expect what he expected to come true. Yuming was so big that he dared to intercept Shan Xiongxin's Wanjing cavalry with 10,000 cavalry.

Even if Yuming's cavalry is more elite than Shan Xiongxin's cavalry, and with Qin Qiong's assistance, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses. If he led the army to support at this time, he would surround and intercept it, and capture Yuming in one fell swoop. Isn't the situation in Henan instantaneous? Not only can you recover the land of Huaibei, but you can even annex Hebei.

Thinking of the huge gain after capturing Yuming, Li Mi only thought about it for a short time, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Go!" The soldiers sent to the southern foot of the mountain, joined forces with Shan Xiongxin, captured Yuming first, and then returned to the division to break through the Jindi Pass! ”

He also thought about it, even if he failed to catch Yuming this time, if he could defeat the king of Zhou and escape, he would also be able to severely demoralize the Zhou army. Then he captured Beibi Town with the power of victory, which could consume the Zhou army's defending forces, and also make the Zhou army's stronghold outside the Jindi Pass completely lost, becoming a lonely city.

And Li Mi predicted that when Wang Bodang defeated Luo Shixin's troops, he would go east along the Yellow River, go ashore behind Yuming, and attack Jindi Pass from the east.

However, when Li Mi arrived at the battlefield at the southern foot of Bishan the next morning, he was suddenly dumbfounded.

The generals of the Wagang Army looked at it at a glance and saw that there was a river of blood flowing here, and corpses were all over the field, and the scene was unbearable.

And most of the dead bodies are the corpses of the Wei army, including the corpses of the main general Shan Xiongxin and the deputy general Xiong Kuohai.

Li Mi's lips turned white with anger, although he also thought that Shan Xiongxin might be defeated, but he never expected that this general entrusted with the important task would be defeated so quickly and so badly. The dignified Wei Wanjing cavalry, who had fought for many years and had rich experience in the Wagang Army, actually lost to Yuming's 10,000 cavalry, even if they might have encountered Qin Qiong's infantry, but they would not have been defeated so badly that the main general and deputy generals and more than ninety percent of the generals failed to escape. This kind of thing spreads, how can he Li Mi meet people? Other candidates will think that the Wei army is incompetent in battle.

From the mouths of several wounded Wei soldiers found at the scene, Li Mi learned about the battle in the morning. After listening to the soldiers' detailed accounts, he immediately frowned and pondered.

According to these soldiers, Yu Ming's elite cavalry equipped with Arab war horses and armed with Damascus black steel swords were the vanguard, so that the Wei cavalry could not resist it at all.

This new situation really surprised him, if it was against the army of the Great Food Country with Shan Xiongxin, Li Mi might not be so surprised, but this was the Zhou army in the Central Plains. When will Yuming be able to get so many Arab war horses and Damascus black steel knives?

"Where did the enemy cavalry go?" Li Mi asked, this is a key, he still has a glimmer of hope, he wants to catch up and capture Yuming, and avenge Shan Xiongxin and Xiongkuo.

"Looks like heading north! But whether they deliberately went around in circles, we don't know, Zhou Jun is cunning! Several Wei soldiers who survived the catastrophe said with palpitations.

After Li Mi heard this, he secretly thought to himself: To the north? It is possible that he went to Liyang to support Luo Shixin. But what can he do with 10,000 cavalry going to Liyang? Could it be that you can still capture the city? That running with himself to the city of Jindi Pass is a result.

There is also a place to return to Beibi Town to continue to assist in guarding Jindi Pass. Since Yu Ming had already sent more than 50,000 infantry to Beibi Town, it was possible that his 10,000 cavalry would also go over to participate in the battle.

Not good! The combat effectiveness of Yuming's 10,000 cavalry is so amazing. Although Wang Bodang had 50,000 men there, there were only 20,000 cavalry. And Shan Xiongxin's 10,000 cavalry were all defeated in the hands of Yu Ming, and Wang Bodang's 20,000 cavalry was afraid that it would be difficult to resist.

And Luo Shixin, who was hostile to him, already had 10,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. If you add Yuming's 10,000 elite cavalry, then Wang Bodang is afraid that there will be more than one luck.

Li Mi couldn't help but be shocked when he thought of this. immediately ordered: "Immediately inform Wang Bodang and ask him not to go to Liyang, and return to our army camp as soon as possible!" ”

After a pause, he looked at the sky and saw that night was almost falling.

He hesitated for a while, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Our army is now immediately marching towards Beibi Town overnight!" We are going to have a decisive battle with the main force of the Zhou army there! ”

……

Beibi Town, located between Liyang and Jindi Pass, is located at the northern foot of Pishan Mountain, which is a rare mountain range on the North China Plain. It is not far from the Baima ferry on the Yellow River, and its strategic position is very important, whether it is attacking Jindi Pass from Liyang, or attacking Liyang from Jindi Pass, Beibi Town is a must-take place.

Cheng Yanjin led 50,000 infantry to Beibi Town and began to build fortifications. However, not long after laying the foundation fortifications, the Zhou army had just begun to dig the ditch when they heard that the Tanma reported that the Wei army was attacking here.

"The Wagang army is coming really fast, but this is also expected by His Royal Highness King Zhou, although our ditch is too late to be dug. However, the newly designed defensive facilities of His Royal Highness King Zhou and Hu Junshi are believed to be able to give a profound image to the Wagang thieves! Cheng Yanjin said with a smile, not panicked at all. For the defensive facilities that Yu Ming made, he admired it in his heart.

At this time, Wang Bodang had already led a large number of Wei troops to the front of Beibi Town, and he rushed back from Banban after receiving Li Mi's order.

Since his troops were located closer to Beibi Town, they arrived one step ahead of Li Mi's main force.

After setting up camp, Wang Bodang led a biao soldier to a nearby high post and looked at the Zhou army that was already lined up at the gate of the town. He couldn't help but be a little surprised.

I saw that these Zhou troops were all infantry, divided into six platoons. In the first row were shield soldiers, each holding a steel shield about a man high, like a shield wall.

In the second and first rows, pikemen armed with iron guns. These spears were about two feet long, and the tips of the spears shone like a forest of guns in the sunlight.

In the fourth to sixth rows, there are archers, all of whom are holding longbows and moving their muscles.

And behind these six rows of Zhou troops, there are trebuchets one after another. These trebuchets were much smaller than the ones used for siege. The stone used is only the size of a watermelon. Judging by the fact that there were two soldiers standing next to each trebuchet, this small trebuchet should have been able to be operated by two people.

Most of the Wei army had never seen such a strange trebuchet, and they all started to talk about it.

Wang Bodang saw that his subordinates were whispering, and raised his hand, and the generals of the Wei army immediately stopped talking.

He said slowly: "Don't guess, the thing behind the Zhou Jun array is a modified trebuchet that can shoot boulders, but don't be afraid, the trebuchet launches slowly, and the target of the boulder is also large, which is much easier to dodge than a bow and arrow." Therefore, everyone should not have psychological pressure, and rush forward with all their might, these Zhou army infantry will know at a glance that they are not its main elite, and they should have little combat effectiveness, as long as they get close, they will be lambs for us to slaughter. Now let's go and line up! Get ready for battle! In a moment, Ben will give the order to charge......"

When Wang Bodang's deputy general Jia Xiong heard this, he was anxious, and he hurriedly reminded: "General Wang, Mi Gong sent someone to explain before, and asked us to monitor the Zhou army here...... The attack waited for him to come. If we attack recklessly now, we are afraid that it will not be appropriate......"
