East County.

White Horse City.

Li Mi personally commanded under the city, and the massive Wei army attacked like a tide, not to mention all kinds of siege equipment, Li Mi also gave full play to his military advantage and home advantage.

Not to mention attacking the city from all sides, he also recruited a large number of strong men from Henan, let them fill the trenches with soil, and build earth mountains outside so that the Wei army could attack the White Horse City with siege crossbows and catapults.

There are no tricks.

It's a tough attack.

Li Mi gave his elite descendants two military titles given by the imperial court, the two armies of Shenjie stayed in Jinyong City and Xingluocang, and the two armies of Shenxing were stationed in Hujiaoguan, and the other army was here to supervise the battle for him.

Each army will draw lots to lead the troops to attack the city, and whoever draws will be on it, and those who dare to slack off will be killed.

"My lord, attacking the city like this, the casualties are too great."

Li Gongyi couldn't help frowning when he saw his subordinates being killed and injured under the city wall. Li Mi's Wei army, in fact, took a similar nature to join the gang, when he entered Henan, so all kinds of rebels and thieves came to attach, and even many powerful landlords also recruited troops to lead the troops to return.

Li Mi did not refuse these people, and awarded official positions according to the number of soldiers and horses under his command, and the strength and weakness.

The more soldiers and the more sophisticated they are, the higher the military title they will be awarded.

Li Mi gave these people official titles, and then gave them an organization, and let them organize their troops and horses according to the Wei army camp system he had set, and then still handed them over to their own command.

And every time they fight, the spoils captured by each department are also owned by themselves, and only another thirty percent is taken out and handed over to Li Mi.

Under this kind of rule, the number of Wei troops is very large, anyway, the more soldiers there are, the bigger the officers, the more loot they can grab, and those generals who are born in bandits and bandits are not stupid, they are all desperately recruiting, and even strong men.

The Wei army not only had many soldiers, but also mixed and factional.

Li Gongyi, Wang Dangren, and Zhou Wenju all have tens of thousands of soldiers, and many of the original generals of the Sui Dynasty are all heavy soldiers.

Li Mi's own lineage of Wei Wushu is not numerous, and even if it is a lineage, the generals below lead the troops, and they are all accustomed to treating the soldiers as private soldiers.

When the wind is down, they scramble to be the first, and when they grab the loot, they even often fight, but when they encounter hard bones and hard battles with large casualties, they are afraid of difficulties.

"You have drawn the offensive lot, then you have to attack these two hours, no matter how you arrange the arrangement, you must follow my pre-war order to attack unremittingly, if you can't attack, you have to attack for two hours, otherwise, don't blame me for the ruthlessness of military law."

Li Mi is very aware of the importance of this big battle, he can't drag it out here for a long time, he must fight quickly.

"My lord, but my brothers have lost more than one."

"It's just Yicheng, what are you shouting?" Li Mi said dissatisfied.

"But the brothers are already demoralized, and if they continue like this, they may be scattered."

"I've only heard that the field formations are broken and scattered, and the defending cities are broken and scattered, and I haven't heard of the routs that are attacked during the siege, continue to attack!"

Li Mi looked at his sad face, and said comfortingly, "After capturing White Horse City and capturing the equipment of the Xia army, I will give you a hundred pairs of iron armor." ”

Hearing the temptation of a hundred pairs of armor, Li Gongyi had no choice but to take the order and continue to supervise the battle before returning to the battle.

"Lord, the Xia army in this city is too strong." One will be the way.

"So what, it's only 10,000 people, in the past few days, our onslaught has killed at least 2,000 people in the city, although our army has also suffered a lot of losses, but it is only a drop in the bucket for us, as long as we continue to attack like this, White Horse City will be broken."

In Li Mi's opinion, there were more than 10,000 defenders in White Horse City before, so it was difficult to attack, but now there are only 8,000, and if you continue to attack it, it will be 76,000, and the defenders in the city will become fewer and fewer, and the city will become more and more difficult to defend.

And he also sent people to dig tunnels and build equipment, so victory must be more and more in his favor.

As for casualties, this is a result that must be endured.

But as long as he wins White Horse City, it is the key point of this Xia Wei decisive battle, and he doesn't believe that Dou Jiande still has many such elites.

Hebei.

Fan Yang.

Dugu usurped with white linen tied around his waist, and he and Fan Yang's soldiers and horses were all serving the national mourning for the great cause of the Son of Heaven.

"Dashuai, Hejian made a detailed report, saying that there are only more than 10,000 people left in Leshou City, which is very empty, and Dou Jiande has gathered soldiers and horses from various counties, and a total of 100,000 horses have gone south to compete with Li Mi."

When Dugu heard the news, he was very excited.

"Li Mi, that traitor, wavering, today he will join tomorrow and rebel, and now he is still voting for the Liaodong puppet dynasty, let them eat dogs, just right, let's send troops to recover Hebei."

"What is the direction of Liaoxi County and Zhuo County, can Luo Siye and Luo Cheng rebel generals have any changes in their troops and horses?"

"I have not found any movement of soldiers and horses in the second county."

"Where's the King of the Upper Valley?" Dugu asked again.

"Wang Xuba led his army to attack Luo Siye's Yunnei County, but was killed by Luo Siye's big arrow, and now his troops are defeated and flee back to Shanggu."

"Wang Suba is dead?" Dugu Yu was a little surprised, "It's good to die." He gritted his teeth.

It's just that he died, but it made Luo Siye lose a big enemy. Previously, Wang Suba accepted the invitation of the imperial court and was awarded the title of Shanggu County Duke, Shanggu Governor and Taishou, and was ordered to Yue Taixing and sent out the Flying Fox to attack Luo Siye of Yunnei County.

Who would have thought that this guy had repeatedly defeated the official army in Hebei in the past and captured the cities of Shanggu, but who would have expected that more than 100,000 people and horses would go to fight Luo Siye, but he was defeated and shot by Luo Siye.

What an incompetent straw bale.

"Your Majesty, why don't we take this opportunity to send troops to Shanggu, annex Wang Suba's troops, and then seize Shanggu County?" A general proposed.

But Dugu Yu was not interested in this proposal.

"Since Wang Xuba is dead, his subordinates are just a group of local chickens and dogs, don't pay attention to it for the time being, let's go south first to take down Dou Jiande's lair, take Hebei by chance, and it's not too late to come back and clean up the thieves in Shanggu."

For Dugu Yu, although the Son of Heaven was killed in Jiangdu, he still did not change his loyalty to Sui.

When the Son of Heaven died, he also went to the Emperor of Jiangdu, and led Fanyang Town to support Yang Yu, the acting king, as the Son of Heaven, and regarded him as Zhengshuo, and was willing to lead his troops to continue the crusade against the rebellion of the disobedient.

Dugu issued a military order, dispatched soldiers and horses from various counties, and prepared to raid Dou Jiande's pseudo-summer capital, Leshou City of Hejian County.

"Under the festival, Fan Yang guarded Guo Xuan and asked to see him, saying that he had something important to report."

"Let him in!"

Guo Xuan was originally the general guard of Zhuo County, and after Zhuo County was upgraded to a mansion, he was the general guard of Fanyang Mansion, and after Xue Shixiong was killed by Dugu, he and the general of Fanyang Mansion were attached to him together, and his performance has been good.

Guo Xuan untied the knife outside the mansion, "This is the leader of my scout team, he has important military information, I want to take him to meet the marshal and let him report to the marshal in person." He said to the tooth soldiers in front of the house.

The Tooth Soldier looked at him a few times.

"What's your name?"

"Wang Junke." The man had a flattering smile on his face.

"Brother, what military situation is so important?"

"It was Wei Dao'er of Hengshan County who wanted to annex the Shanggu Wang Subabu, but the Wang Subabu was unwilling, so he intended to attach to my Fanyang Town."

"Oh, good thing, let's go inside."

Guo Xuan took Wang Junke into the mansion.

Dugu listened to the report, "Is this really the case?" ”

"Under the festival, I also brought a letter from the thieves in the upper valley here, please take a look at it." Saying that, Wang Junke took a few steps forward and reached into his sleeve to get the letter.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed.

A dagger had already been inserted into Dugu's chest, and he looked down at the knife in disbelief, blood gushing out.

Wang Junke's face was no longer that restrained expression, and he smiled at Dugu.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Wang Junkuo, a loyal general."

"Luo Shuai asked me to ask you!"

Dugu turned his head to look at Guo Xuan, "I'm waiting for you to be ······."

Guo Xuan stood there and said very calmly, "When you used trickery to kill Xue Shuai, you should have thought that there would be today." ”

"Someone, there's an assassin ······"

Dugu Yu shouted a warning with all his might.

Wang Junkuo smiled disappreciatively.

"Call it, it's too late to call it again, Dugu Yu, you can go on the road first."

After speaking, he pulled out the dagger, laid it across Dugu Yu's neck, and used all his strength, and Dugu Yu's throat was cut.

"Do you hear that? The voice outside, that is the voice of gold and iron, the loyal army is already on the way to come, and outside is the generals of Fanyang Mansion, who are leading the brothers to avenge Xue Shuai, and are preparing to welcome the arrival of the brothers of the loyal army! ”

In Fanyang City, there is already a mess.

Among the soldiers and horses from all walks of life who were ordered to gather outside Fanyang City, many soldiers and horses from the original Fanyang Mansion, under the leadership of Xue Shixiong's old generals, were launching a surprise attack on the Beiping troops who were originally Dugu.

Town.

Wang Junkuo's shadow guards are using the hidden stakes that have been arranged in Fanyang City a long time ago to seize the city gate and lure Fan Yang's soldiers into the city.

Guo Xuan was rebelled by Wang Junkuo, he was already dissatisfied with Dugu's plan to kill Xue Shixiong, and many Fan Yang generals were the same as him.

And in the current situation, Luo Cheng is undoubtedly the most likely to win the world, so under Wang Junkuo's hard work, Guo Xuan is willing to do it anyway, and then he contacted many Fan Yang generals.

Finally, when Dugu usurped the intention of gathering troops and horses to sneak attack Dou Jiande's old nest Hejian Leshou, the old department of Fanyang, which was originally transferred to the periphery, finally had the opportunity to come to Fanyang City to assemble.

Taking this opportunity, a surprise attack unfolded.

After the Fan Yang army invaded the city, and Guo Xuan and Wang Junkuo walked out of the Yamen of the Fan Yang Jiedu Embassy with the head of Dugu and showed the public with the head of Dugu, the hearts of the Beiping soldiers were shaken, and many generals and soldiers directly abandoned their weapons and joined them.

More and more people are attached.

There were some henchmen of Dugu usurping the throne, such as Zhao Shizhu and others, who still wanted to fight to the end, but they were finally surrounded and strangled by Fan Yangbing.

The sound of the sword soldiers faded away.

The chaos slowly calmed down.

Wang Junkuo and Guo Xuan raised the red white tiger banner together on the gate tower of Fanyang City.

In the military camp outside the city, many Beiping soldiers also surrendered one after another after seeing that the general trend had gone.

"General Guo, please write a good report by yourself, and I will jointly send it to His Royal Highness King Qin to report the victory!" Wang Junkuo said to Guo Xuan with a smile.
