As soon as the rooster sang, the sky was bright again, Li Xianhuoran, who had just woken up from meditation, opened his eyes, shook the white fox robe he was wearing, stood up, and did not alarm Gao Miao, who was already too tired to lie on the side and fell asleep, strode out of the city gate tower, stood at the city plate, sighed, rubbed his slightly numb hands, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the red sun that had just popped out of the horizon in the distance.

Five days, since the first attack on the city by the Yue Wang army, it has been five days have passed, although the morale of the Yue Wang army has been seriously hit after resting for two days, and launched a fierce attack for three consecutive days, but unfortunately in addition to the corpse that was thrown under the city again, there is no harvest at all, and even the city head has not been able to climb again, there is no doubt that the Yue Wang army is no longer able to do, even so, Li Xian has never had the slightest carelessness, always stick to the city wall, as an example for the army.

"Your Majesty, the last general has prepared the war horses, please make it clear to Your Majesty!"

Just when Li Xian was silently pondering, Zhang Mingyuan, who was dressed in armor, led Li Yaodong and other generals to emerge from the stairway next to the city gate tower in a hurry, but saw that he walked behind Li Xian in a few strides, bowed down, hugged his fists and gave a military salute, and said in a loud voice.

"Well, don't worry, just wait, you have to fight!"

Li Xian's soldiers have always been wide open and close, and he has never been beaten so hard as this, since he has long thought about launching a counteroffensive, today is the day of counterattack, not only the Hexi Army from afar has moved in place, Li Boyao who has been killed all the way from Xiangzhou has arrived in Caizhou, and it is not far from Luoyang, it is time to end this farce, not to mention that the generals are eager to try, even Li Xian himself is also uneasy, but now, it is not yet time to attack, Li Xian will not be impulsive to the blind step, just smiled and waved his hand, and replied indifferently.

"No!"

Li Xian had already opened Chrysostom, and the generals who were bent on participating in the counteroffensive would have no objections, and each bowed down to make promises.

"Huh."

Li Xian didn't pay any attention to the generals, but turned back and set his eyes on the camp of the Yue Wangjun in the distance, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a sarcastic smile......

"Come on, bring wine to Lone!"

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the camp of the Yue Wangjun, Li Zhen, who had just woken up from a hangover, only felt a headache, got off the marching bed groggily, staggered to the front of a few sons, picked up the wine jar with both hands, and was about to pour it into his mouth, but the wine jar was already empty, no matter how he poured it, he didn't see a drop of wine falling, so angry that Li Zhen's face was pale, and he threw the empty jar to the ground, and roared angrily.

"Father, you can't drink any more."

Hearing the sound in the tent, Li Wen and the others who were waiting outside the tent couldn't help but tremble, and after looking at each other, Li Wen was more courageous, lifted the curtain of the big tent, walked into the tent quickly, with a bitter face, and persuaded in a low voice.

"Fart, do you want to die of thirst? Get lost! Bring the wine, quickly, and then you have to talk about it, and the military law is engaged! ”

The siege of the city did not go well, Xiangzhou had been lost, and then counting the tragic death of the eldest son and the escape of the chief strategist, Li Zhen was completely discouraged, and at this time he only thought about relying on alcohol to anesthetize his nerves, but how could he listen to Li Wen's persuasion, not only did he not listen, but he was scolding violently.

"Father, you ......"

Seeing Li Zhen's frenzy like this, Li Wen couldn't help but panic a little, and he was still about to be persuaded, when he suddenly heard a terrible horn faintly, and couldn't help but shiver, not for anything else, just because he had been in the Hexi army for many years He had heard the origin of this horn, and it was the Hexi army that arrived, and he was anxious, and he didn't care about being polite or rude, so he grabbed Li Zhen's arm and shouted urgently: "Father, it's not good, it's the Hexi army is coming!" ”

"What? That's impossible! ”

As soon as he heard Li Wen say this, Li Zhenke couldn't care about being angry anymore, first stunned, and then jumped up like an old cat whose tail had been stepped on - for the Hexi Army, Li Zhen was extremely jealous, if he hadn't learned about the big avalanche in Kunshan, he wouldn't have dared to attack Luoyang City so recklessly, and now Luoyang City has not fallen, and the Hexi Army has arrived, and the situation is so bad for Li Zhen that it can't be worse.

"Father, hurry up and give the order, if our army does not withdraw at this time, I am afraid it will be too late!"

Li Wen knows better than anyone that the combat power of the Hexi Army is so strong that he can't afford to fight at all, so he plans to quickly withdraw to Caizhou, which is still in his hands, and as for what to do after arriving in Caizhou, Li Wen can't think much about it at this time.

"Can't be withdrawn, pass on the order of the orphan, all departments will guard the camp, and no one will be allowed to leave the camp without the order of the lonely!"

Li Zhen, who woke up suddenly, was obviously more calm than Li Wen, he didn't dare to expose his back to the Hexi army, which was famous for its cavalry, if he really retreated at this time, it would definitely be driven away by the Hexi army.

"Ah, Father, this ......"

Hearing Li Zhen's order, Li Wen panicked and didn't know what to say.

"Bastard, stunned, don't hurry up and give the order to go, go quickly!"

Li Zhen was already anxious at this time, and when she saw that Li Wen was still stupid, she was angry, and stomped her feet and scolded.

"Ah, yes, the boy obeys!"

Being scolded by Li Zhen like this, Li Wen finally came back to his senses, hurriedly answered, stumbled out of the Chinese army's tent, roared and conveyed the order, and in a moment, the three battalions of the Yue Wang Army, which were originally calm, were all boiling, and a team of soldiers ran out of the tent in a panic, and rushed to the side of the camp under the shouts of generals at all levels, either standing with swords and guns, or bending bows and arrows, and nervously staring at the Hexi army that was slowly approaching two miles away.

"Your Majesty, look, it's General Lin who has arrived, and the last general is asking for orders to go out of the city as a vanguard!"

The Hexi army is all ridden, although there are only 40,000 troops, but one number of horses, it is spectacular, although the Hexi army did not gallop, but the movement is very great, not only Li Zhen and his son were alarmed, Zhang Mingwu and others at the head of the city also saw the arrival of the Hexi army, and under the excitement, Zhang Mingwu couldn't help but speak out again to ask for war.

"Don't worry, watch first!"

Looking at the Hexi army coming from the mountains and fields in the distance, Li Xian seemed to have returned to the eventful years of a few years ago, and the excitement in his heart was not under Zhang Mingwu and others, but he did not plan to open the city to fight at this time, but had the intention to let the Hexi army perform a good performance, thinking that he would set an example for the next military and political reform.

"Your Majesty is really biased."

As soon as he heard this, he could only watch his old colleagues show off their might, Zhang Mingwu felt as unbearable as a cat scratching in his heart, and couldn't help muttering a word, and when he saw Li Xian's gaze turned sideways, he was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth with his hand, and the funny appearance suddenly made all the generals lean forward and backward with laughter.

"Stop, line-up!"

Two flowers bloomed, one for each, not to mention that Li Xianjunchen was laughing at the city, but said that Lin Chengbin led his troops to slowly walk to the distance of only three hundred steps away from the camp of the Yue Wang's army, and did not approach again, but waved his hand and gave a loud order.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

Lin Chengbin gave an order, and the herald who followed him blew the horn, and the army that was slowly moving forward stopped in an instant, and the soldiers of each department arranged their troops according to the predetermined battle plan, but it was just a stick of incense, and an attack formation had already been laid out, but seeing that the 12,000 infantry troops of the first division of the army were suddenly deployed, and there were 10,000 iron cavalry on each wing to suppress the position, and Lin Chengbin led 8,000 iron cavalry for the Chinese army, and 80 infantry guns were lined up. The muzzle of the black hole was unceremoniously aimed at the camp of the Yue Wang army two hundred and fifty steps away.

The riots are uncontrollably spreading in the camp of the Yue Wang Army, even if the generals at all levels have tried their best to suppress it, but it is still difficult to control it, not for anything else, just because the power of Hexi firearms has already spread all over the Central Plains, even if I have not seen it with my own eyes, but all kinds of rumors have been heard too much, on the occasion of facing the strong army in Hexi, not to mention the panic in the hearts of ordinary soldiers, even the generals at all levels are also worried, but Li Zhen has not given an order, and the armies dare not move, He could only watch with his eyes as the Hexi Army was methodically arranging its troops not far away.

"General, our department is ready, please make it clear!"

After the units were in place, a communications soldier of the 1st Army Division rode his horse to the central army, and a skillful saddle dismounted, touched the ground on one knee, and said in a loud voice.

"Attack!"

Although the camp of the Yue Wang Army in front was very neat, there were basically no major flaws, but in Lin Chengbin's view, it was just Er'er, who was too lazy to talk nonsense, waved his hand solemnly, and gave a battle order loudly.

"No!"

Since the commander had already given the order, the communication soldiers who came to pass the ceremony did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly answered, rode their horses back to the front, and passed the order to Xiao Sanlang, the commander of the first division.

"Order the artillery to open fire and clear the enemy fences, trebuchet positions!"

Xiao Sanlang also didn't put the seemingly stable battalion of the Yue Wang Army in his eyes, not for anything else, just because in front of powerful weapons such as artillery, wooden fences, arrow towers, trebuchets and other objects were just dead targets, and it was impossible to block the bombardment of artillery at all.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

As soon as Xiao Saburo gave the order, the horn of the front army command post suddenly sounded violently, and the order was transmitted to the artillery position at the forefront.

"Prepare the gun emplacements, fire quickly, targets: fences, turrets, watchtowers, trebuchets, fire!"

As soon as he heard the sound of the horn, Su Qingsheng, the commander of the artillery regiment who had been on call for a long time, immediately came to his senses, waved the small red flag in his hand, and gave the order for shelling.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

As soon as the attack order was given, eighty infantry guns began to perform, and with a loud bang, gunsmoke rose up, and more than eighty *** roared and smashed towards the camp of the Yue Wang army, and the momentum was amazing......
