Chapter Forty-Nine: Defeat in the First Battle I

Li Mi, who was sitting at the top, had a gloomy face as if his father and mother had died, even though his father and mother were dead. Li Yuan can make Li Mi very angry at this time. A few days ago, a guy proposed to Li Mi that he coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world, but when Li Mi sent someone to look for someone in a hurry, he couldn't find it. Now look at Li Yuan, he is even more ruthless, Yang Guang is still alive, he will directly hold another emperor out, although he can't order the world with this, but at least the area in Guanzhong can be occupied openly.

What made Li Mi so angry that he wanted to scold his mother was that Li Yuan's posture was so similar to the scene when Yang Jian, the Duke of Sui, assisted the Zhou room thirty-seven years ago! Since Yang Jian was able to win the world like this, wouldn't this Li Yuan also have a great chance? Thinking of the lowly words in Li Yuan's letters, Li Mi almost vomited blood. are all surnamed Li, why is Li Yuan, a bastard, so treacherous?

In this world, Li Yuan is doing this, not only the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang, but also two emperors, one south and one north. Judging from the current situation, Li Yuan has already stood on the commanding heights of morality, even if he can't unify the world, at least with his current strength and name, he can rule across the river with Yang Guang in Yangzhou and divide the world equally.

Seeing that Li Yuan's side was going well, and he had millions of soldiers and horses, but he was blocked from entering outside this Luoyang City, Li Mi's heart was full of feelings. People are more popular than dead people! It is also a well-defended capital, why is Xijing so easily captured by Li Yuan, while the eastern capital can only be consumed by itself? In terms of strong soldiers and strong horses, and his prestige, Li Yuan is not at the same level as himself, but he is ahead of him.

At this time, Li Mi regretted it very much, if he had listened to Chai Xiaohe's suggestion, today's situation might have been different. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine to buy in this world, what he has to do now is to step up the attack, strive to capture the eastern capital as soon as possible, and then sweep the Central Plains with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and strive to compress Li Yuan's forces in the Guanzhong region, so that he still has a great chance to seize the world.

Thinking of this, Li Miteng stood up and looked around with sharp eyes, and the wolf-like eyes made many generals below dodge and avoid, not daring to look directly. Li Mi was extremely satisfied with the reaction of the generals below, and as for Cheng Yanjin, who was staring at him with a pair of bull's eyes and looking at him with interest, Li Mi directly chose to ignore it. We are cultural people, and we don't care about that big old man.

Clearing his throat, Li Mi solemnly ordered, "Ladies and gentlemen, now the situation has reached a critical juncture, and the righteous armies from all walks of life have made good progress, but our Wagang Army has besieged the Eastern Capital for so long without achieving any results. This duke decided to start tomorrow, by the generals to lead the troops to attack Luoyang, this time not to deal with the errand as before, this duke originally hoped to be able to take Luoyang bloodlessly, to avoid the war and the displacement of the people in Luoyang City.

However, since those people in the court do not know how to lift, this prince no longer pays attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality with them. Therefore, this time, the prince's request is to fight to the end, and it is necessary to take Luoyang in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, our Wagang army will be exhausted here and have nothing to do, wouldn't we be ridiculed by the heroes of the world? You all listen to my father, even if you use your life to fill the moat of Luoyang City, your father will take Luoyang City! ”

Seeing Li Mi's gritted teeth, Cheng Biting Jin smiled bitterly, he couldn't imagine that Li Yuan's occupation of Chang'an would be so stimulating to Li Mi! However, this Li Mi is also a hero in the end, he reacted so quickly, it is not too late to make amends, and now he will send a large army to forcibly attack Luoyang City, and he will be able to take it in the end. The only thing to worry about is that with such a tough attack, I am afraid that the million-watt gang army will finally be able to enter Luoyang alive, and it will be thankful that half of them can be grateful.

Li Mi also took this into account at the beginning, so he didn't attack desperately, otherwise Luoyang would have been surnamed Li a long time ago. After all, although the Wagang Army claims to be one million and seems to be powerful, most of them are newly joined soldiers, and using these new hands to attack Luoyang, which is guarded by elite soldiers, is equivalent to meat buns beating dogs, and there is no return. Besides, if too many of his soldiers died, it would be strange if the rest of the people didn't disperse immediately! Everyone is here to get promoted and make a fortune, but not to send them to death!

As for the rest of the men, although they are veterans who have been trained on the battlefield, they are all private soldiers brought over by the leaders of the original hills. In this era of war and chaos, the more people under your hands, the heavier your own right to speak. This truth is understood by fools, let alone those generals of the Wagang Army who were originally heroes.

If Li Mi had just besieged Luoyang and proposed to exchange his life for the eastern capital, and fought with the court officers and soldiers defending the city, I am afraid that the chair of the big leader of Li Mi's Wagang army would have been pulled down by those unruly leaders of all walks of life before his ass was hot. It's just that at this time and at that time, now everyone knows that the situation is dangerous, and if you want to capture Luoyang, it is impossible not to make some sacrifices.

If you are willing to give up, you will get without giving up! Everyone followed Li Mi in order to be a founding hero, rich and noble, if because of their own selfishness and delayed the great cause of Duke Wei to dominate the world, wouldn't it be regretful that there was no place to cry? When the time comes, let alone the founding hero, it is impossible to be a rich man who keeps to himself!

Besides, this time the Duke of Wei also sent his Pushan public camp to the front line, so many generals had nothing to say, so they had to follow Li Mi's orders and start deploying, preparing to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers defending the city.

However, the roof leak happened to rain overnight. On the morning of the next day, before the shirtless death squad set off, an urgent military situation was transmitted to Li Mi's tent: Wang Shichong, who had been standing still, led his army to cross Luoshui overnight last night and set up a camp in Heishi Yingyang Mansion. This morning, when the Wagang army was preparing to attack Luoyang, Wang Shichong left a part of the army to defend the camp so as not to cut off the back road, and then led his elite troops to the north bank of Luoshui to set up a formation, and at the same time sent people to the Wagang army to write a war letter.

After getting the news, Li Mi laughed angrily, Wang Shichong turned out to be just a grammar official, and he really thought he was invincible in the world after a few lucky wins? Dare to come and fight against yourself, I really don't know how thick the sky is! Originally, if he stayed on the side honestly, he didn't bother to pay attention to him, since he dared to come to the door, then kill him first, so that those officers and soldiers in Luoyang City would die.

At that moment, Li Mi ordered his envoys to go out to deliver an order, asking all the troops that had originally set out to attack Luoyang to turn their horses, cross Luoshui, and attack Wang Shichong's troops who were arrayed on the north bank of Luoshui.

When the order reached Cheng Yanjin's hands, he was directing the men and horses to prepare to set off. Cheng Biting Jin's men and horses were also arranged in the first wave of the team attacking the Luoyang City Wall, even if it was just for show, Cheng Biting Jin had to ensure that the team arrived at the designated position on time, as for wanting to be lazy, just go a little slower when attacking the city, anyway, he was not enthusiastic about attacking Luoyang, so let others worry about it!

After receiving Li Mi's order, Cheng Yanjin was a little dumbfounded at the moment. Does this Wang Shichong have a private agreement with Li Yuan or what? How did the time of the attack be so good, Wang Shichong's 100,000 army has been near Luoyang for nearly two months, and there has been no movement, I didn't expect to rush to block Li Mi at this juncture, Li Mi just wanted to cheer up, this guy came over to drag his feet, no wonder Li Mi was dizzy, and actually ordered the soldiers in charge of the siege to go directly to get Wang Shichong first.

When Cheng Yanjin came to the Luoshui River with his men and horses, he happened to see a team of men and horses starting to cross the river under the command of Chai Xiaohe. Looking at Chai Xiaohe, who was riding on a horse and pointing his fingers, Cheng Yanjin scolded in his heart.

This Chai Xiaohe thinks that he has some ability, he is a scholar, and his family background is good, and after joining the Wagang Army, he has been trusted by Li Mi, so he has always looked down on those peasant generals from humble backgrounds. Especially Cheng Biting Jin, who has never dealt with Li Mi, Chai Xiaohe has repeatedly embarrassed him in front of people.

There have been several times when Cheng Yanjin wanted to take advantage of the dead of night to quietly bury this Chai Xiaohe alive, but considering that if he had something, the biggest object of suspicion would be himself. People live faces, trees live skin, although our skin is very thick, but we still want it, how can we just throw it away?

Seeing Chai Xiaohe galloping over from in front of him with a face like no one, Cheng Yanjin's eyes suddenly widened. He himself is also a general who leads the army, and Chai Xiaohe has gone too far to ignore him so much in front of so many people. In the past, although everyone had contradictions, it was in Li Mi's handsome tent, everyone mocked each other behind closed doors, but they never made it public in front of their subordinates.

Staring at Chai Xiaohe, who had already stepped into Luoshui, Cheng gritted his teeth and cursed secretly in his heart, "The bastard who looks down on people with dog eyes, curses you to fall into the water and drown, cross the river and be hacked to death by Wang Shichong's men and horses, in short, it is not a good death!" ”

After scolding secretly in his heart for a long time, Cheng Biting Jin's angry mood gradually calmed down. If it weren't for the approaching war, in order to maintain the open-minded and generous image he has always maintained in front of people, with Chai Xiaohe's attitude just now, Cheng Yanjin would have beaten him up a long time ago. You can't kill him, it's okay to beat him up and get angry. Anyway, when there was a fuss in Li Mi's tent before, Chai Xiaohe had already grasped the golden fist in the process of teaching.

Cursing Chai Xiaohe for a long time with murderous eyes, Cheng Yanjin turned his head and ordered to his subordinates angrily, "Rabbit cubs, what are you standing there like a wood in a daze?" All pass to grandpa to cross the river, if you miss a big thing, see if grandpa doesn't skin you! With that, Cheng Biting Jin lifted the reins and took the lead in Luoshui.
