Li Jing sent Xue Wanqian to lead the troops to besiege Michi, not to attack for the time being, but to fight psychological warfare, because there are 20,000 Wagang soldiers in the city, and there are some old Sui troops, they have been dissatisfied with Wang Shichong for a long time, but they rely on these soldiers alone, they dare not resist, they only have a herd mentality.

If someone provokes, it will be easy to follow the mutiny, have complaints in their hearts, do not speak for the time being, and wait for the opportunity.

In the face of hundreds of thousands of Dahua troops, the soldiers and horses defending the city have long been like ashes, and they never thought that they could hold it, because it was unrealistic, Dahua's achievements this year were brilliant, sweeping the northwest, invincible, and many northwest princes and states were wiped out, this kind of power shocked the morale of the enemy.

In the late autumn of last year, Li Tang, Turkic, and Liang formed a tripartite alliance, hundreds of thousands of troops, and Dahua won more with less, Luo Cheng and Dahua were remembered by the people of the Central Plains again, and they were shocked in their hearts, and they had long thought that Luo Cheng had the luck of the emperor, the people's aspirations, and the national fortune gathered, which was a subtle orientation.

Xue Wancheng took 30,000 soldiers and horses to the outside of the pond, and began to set up camp, lay out defense lines, set up deer barriers, dig trenches, assemble ladder chariots, etc., and transported crossbows, rushing carts, trebuchets, and fireball bombs to prepare for the war.

Due to Dahua's implementation of the standardization of equipment parts, assembly line operations, and the use of screws, bolts, and screws, which are simple and effective, they have suddenly changed the rough mode of on-site temporary manufacturing in the past, and have become batch of ordnance equipment, and some parts have been quickly assembled together to form various siege equipment.

Black powder was also brought in some wooden barrels, which could be temporarily loaded into cannonballs and explosives bags to storm the city!

In the pond, Wang Daoxi, as the commander-in-chief of the city's defense, stood at the head of the city with some military generals, raised his eyes, and saw the Dahua army several miles of company camps, tightly organized, and felt a huge oppression.

Wang Daoxuan is more than forty years old, with a Chinese face, a short beard, deep eyes, and strong eyebrows, and he was a little apprehensive when he was assigned such a difficult task this time, and asked after looking left and right: "Generals, how do you think you can hold this city?" ”

Those ordinary generals and captains were all silent, they might be okay to deal with ordinary bandits, other rebels and other rabble, but in the face of Dahua, they were suddenly dumbfounded.

At this time, Cheng Zhijie stood up and said very rudely: "I'm afraid of him!" Dahua's army is also people, and we are also soldiers, so we don't believe that we will lose to them if we fight against each other, Marshal Wang, Cheng asked for battle, led troops to enter the camp from the flank, and destroyed the grain and grass of the Dahua military camp. ”

Luo Shixin also stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Marshal Wang, the last general is willing to fight, cooperate with General Cheng, and take advantage of the fact that the Dahua army camp has just been built, and directly end it!" ”

Everyone was stunned, these two fierce men were going to attack the Chinese army camp outside the city?

Wang Daoxi was also surprised, he didn't think about going out of the city to fight, so he was a little surprised, and hesitated: "Two generals, you can be sure that the attack on the camp will be successful." ”

Cheng Zhijie said: "The narrow road meets, the brave wins, the light turtle shrinks into the city, it is difficult to break the enemy, Dahua is the best at attacking the city, their weapons are advanced, when the time comes, our army is equal to sitting and waiting to be killed, it is better to strike first, and the Dahua vanguard army is caught off guard, and it can also boost the morale of our army." ”

Bing Yuanzhen stood up and said: "Yes, what the two generals Cheng Zhijie and Luo Shixin said is very reasonable, and the last general is also willing to go to life and death together and attack the Dahua military camp." ”

Wang Daoyi asked a little hesitantly: "How many people do you need?" ”

"There are not many soldiers, 10,000 is enough, it is best to be the former Wagang Army, so that it is easy to command, dare to fight with me and others into the tiger's den in Longtan, without fear!"

Wang Daoyi nodded, he had fought with the Wagang army before, and he was defeated by the Wagang generals several times, and he also knew the bravery of the Wagang army.

"Well, generals, I wish you a victorious start and a great defeat of the enemy army! If you succeed, Ben Shuai can lead the army in the city to fight and defeat the Dahua Vanguard. ”

"Yes!" Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin, and Bing Yuanzhen glanced at each other and understood that it was impossible to come back again.

Wang Daoyi also smiled, thinking that even if he succeeded, these Wagang troops would be lost, just removing some unfavorable factors, and it didn't matter if they failed, it was a big deal to lose a group of inconsequential people.

The royal relatives of the Wang family gradually did not want to see these unruly generals of the Wagang Army, and did not pay much attention to them.

A moment later, the war horses neighed, and the elites of the old department of 10,000 Wagang in the city gathered, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin, and Bing Yuanzhen, all armed, wearing armor, and holding heavy troops majestic.

Luo Shixin shouted: "Sons, follow me out of the city to fight!" ”

Cheng Zhijie mobilized his morale and said: "Don't be afraid of Dahua, which of us people is not a warrior who has been through a hundred battles and survived on the battlefield?" ”

Wagang Jun's face was unnatural, they didn't know what the three generals thought, but they knew that they were going to go out of the city to fight with the Dahua elite, and if they went and didn't return, all of them were like ashes, but none of them cried out, or flinched, they stared at the three generals, and there was a feeling of trust and life and death.

Even if they were forced to submit to Wang Shichong, but they were excluded in the army, they couldn't enjoy any good treatment, everyone was resentful, this time they went out to fight, they didn't know that the three generals fought for it, and they thought that it was the commander of the Wang family, and deliberately let them go to death, so they all stared at the Wang Dao's cronies in the city with some indignation.

Squeak!

The city gate is opened, and through the city gate, you can see the Dahua military camp in the distance outside the city.

"Out of town!"

Luo Shixin shouted, rode and galloped, and his whole spirit shone, not at all like the tragedy of going to die.

Cheng Zhijie and Bing Yuanzhen had a smile on the corner of their mouths, but they didn't show it, they tried their best to suppress it, and when they saw the city gate, although the space was not large, it was their gateway to freedom.

The three of them rode out quickly, followed by the pro-guards and the cavalry guards, and then the old troops of the Wagang army, who followed behind, running out of the city, and the sound of iron armor rubbing against each other was majestic and agitated.
