Chapter 760: Confusing Truth with Falsehood

Xu Shiji had already received the signal to attack from the front line, and led the army, which numbered 60,000 or 70,000 people, to take the opportunity to storm Luoyang City.

At this time, the news of Li Mi and others did not come back, and the specific situation was unknown, so Xu Shiji, Jia Xiong, Wei Zheng and other generals and Wenchen were a little worried, and wanted to join the elite soldiers as soon as possible, and then take Luoyang.

Suddenly, the horn sounded, wolf smoke rose everywhere, Wang Shichong with more than 30,000 elite soldiers, quickly crossed Luoshui, arrived at the north bank of Luoshui, and intercepted Xu Shiji's army.

In terms of numbers, the Wagang army has the advantage, but the Wagang army suffered heavy losses due to the elite in the collision with Yu Wenhua and the hard, this time, it was taken away by Li Mi, Cheng Zhijie, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, Pei Renji and his son to attack the city, and the army in the rear base camp is a new army within a few months, or the green forest forces on the hills that have temporarily joined, and the rabble is the majority.

After the confrontation between the two armies, Xu Shiji remained calm and wanted to command the army to rely on the advantage of a large number of people to encircle and suppress Wang Shichong's soldiers and horses, wanting to defeat the outnumbered with the crowd.

But unexpectedly, Wang Shichong used a poisonous plan and sent someone to escort out a person who looked exactly like Li Mi, and pushed him ahead of the three armies.

"Listen to the soldiers of the Wagang Army, your Duke of Wei, Li Mi, has been taken down by the imperial court when he entered Luoyang City, and now he has become a prisoner of the ranks. You quickly lay down your weapons, return to the Great Sui, and there is still a way to live, you must not go all the way to the dark, and you will not shed tears if you don't see the coffin! ”

Wang Shichong sent people to shout, and after the news spread, the Wagang army was suddenly in turmoil, and there was an uproar.

Their spiritual leader, the lord of the Wei State, a generation of princes and heroes, has been tied and knelt in front of the three armies, with a sword and axe frame around his neck, this intuitive scene penetrated into the hearts of the people, making Xu Shiji and the others feel cold for a while, realizing that the general trend has gone, and the Wagang army is finished.

Who are they fighting for without a leader?

"It's nonsense, soldiers must not be fooled!" Jia Xiong exposed it on the spot, and he didn't know the bottom in his heart, but he didn't want to be affected by the army's heart, otherwise the 60,000 army, as well as the large battalion in the rear, might not be able to keep it.

As long as Wang Shichong can be blocked in front of him, Jia Xiong feels that they can have room for maneuver, withdraw to Wagang Mountain, and set up a new master, which may not be impossible to reproduce the scenery of Wagang.

But most people don't think like this, they feel that the leader has been arrested and has become a prisoner, and their confidence and hope of fighting have been lost.

Wang Shichong took the opportunity to attack, the cavalry charged, and the elite followed, fighting the 60,000 or 70,000 Wagang army head-on.

Even if Xu Shiji's ability to lead troops is good, but after all, he is still young, and there are not many opportunities to exercise, at this time, he was shocked by the news that Wang Shichong caught Li Mi, and he was filled with grief and anger, which affected his command ability, and the army's morale was weak, and he was a group of rabble.

"Rush!"

As soon as the confrontation began, Wang Shichong's elite army defeated the Wagang army and retreated, unable to stop!

All the way down, chasing and covering and killing, the six or seven Wagang troops were scattered, scattered, Xu Shiji wanted to lead the troops back to the camp, but found that the camp had caught fire, and Wang Shichong sent people to attack the rear camp.

Xu Shiji made a decision, seeing that Daying and Luokoucang had been attacked, he temporarily took part of the participating troops to break through to the north and go to Liyang, and then regathered his forces, waiting for the lost generals of the Wagang Army to settle down and make a comeback.

Wang Shichong led the elite soldiers to defeat the Wagang army, won more with less, and took the Luokou camp outside the north of the Wagang army.

At this time, Wang Shichong was full of ambition and felt that he had won the battle.

The key plan was to frighten the group of mediocre soldiers of the Wagang Army, disintegrate morale, and then break through and defeat Li Mi in one fell swoop, so that he became a lost dog, so that he could only flee to other places, regain his old department, his vitality was greatly damaged, his prestige was greatly damaged, and he also came into contact with the position of Luoyang.

He sent two generals to stay behind and transport away the grain and grass of Li Mi's camp, and at the same time continued to set fire to it, deliberately causing the scene of the ten-mile company camp being burned to the ground, so that the Wagang army who had fled back was saddened and lost confidence when they saw this scene, and all of them fled.

Sure enough, when Li Mi and Wang Bodang came out of the encirclement with an elite force, they had just crossed Luoshui and wanted to return to the North Daying, but they found that the camp in front of them was full of smoke, shouting to kill the heavens, and it had been broken.

"Duke Wei, stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, the power of our Wagang Army, east to the sea, south to the Yangtze River, west to Ruzhou, north to Wei County, temporarily avoid Wang Shichong's interception, go back to pick up soldiers and horses, may not be able to make a comeback."

Li Mi was a little disheartened at the moment, suffered too much blow, and the arrow wound last time has not been healed, which affected his body, today he thought that he could succeed in his wisdom, but he didn't expect the gutter to capsize, this series of blows, made him fall from the peak to the bottom, and his mood was completely chaotic for a while, and it was difficult to accept.

"Where are we going to withdraw?"

"Duke Wei, retreat to the east, garrison the Tiger Pass, block Wang Shichong, and then go back to Xingyang." Jia Runfu, who followed this trip, proposed this.

Wang Bodang also said: "Yes, Duke Wei, there are still some of our men and horses in Xingyang, which can be called to resist Wang Shichong's attack with the Tiger Prison Pass and temporarily recover his vitality." ”

Li Mi nodded, for the sake of today's plan, this is the only way.

They could no longer take care of the others, so they withdrew eastward first to avoid being intercepted by the troops sent by Wang Shichong.

Today's Luoyang Mutiny ended with a great victory for Wang Shichong.

Li Mi continued to lose 150,000 soldiers and horses, lost back to Luocang and the painstakingly managed Luokou base camp, and the most fatal thing was that the generals under his command were captured alive by Wang Shichong.

Luo Shixin and Chen Zhiluo, who were broken in the city, were killed to the end, and only a few people were left, who were captured by the enemy.

Pei Renji's father and son, who were fighting fiercely outside the city, and Cheng Zhijie and Zu Junyan, who broke through halfway, were all captured.

Shan Xiongxin and Bing Yuanzhen were dissatisfied with Li Mi for a long time, and although they led the troops to fight out of the encirclement, they learned that the base camp had been broken, Li Mi's life and death were unknown, and they had no heart to fight again.

As long as a few generals such as Wang Junkuo and Cai Jiande broke out of the encirclement, they escaped in the chaos and were all scattered for the time being.

Wang Shichong returned to Luoyang, his heart was excited, through the report of the generals, after learning that many Wagang army generals were captured, he was overjoyed, if he could be persuaded to switch to his command, the newly built Zheng State, the strength will be suddenly improved.

(I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!) )
