In the golden autumn of October, it was the harvest season, but there was no busy scene in Hedong. Li Yuan led the army to flood the entire city siege, who would dare to go out of the city to harvest corn and rice?

Meeting with Li Yuan, Li Xuanba's heart became anxious, he wanted to know the situation over there in Yuecheng, although he didn't like Wang Shichong, but it was of great significance to exterminate the Wagang thieves, especially now that he realized Li Mi's danger. In contrast, he naturally hoped that there would be no accidents on Wang Shichong's side.

"Childe, what did Tang Guogong say to you, why did you look worried when you came back?" Fang Xuanling followed Li Jing into Hedong, and there was no war for the time being, so Li Xuanba let him live in Li's mansion, so as not to be too deserted in the mansion. Shizuka is a very competent housekeeper, and in the huge mansion, she only invited three subordinates.

When Li Xuanba returned to the city, Qu Tuyan also asked this question casually, and in order to prevent the army's heart from being disturbed, Li Xuanba could only reply that he would talk about some family life.

"Sir, do you think Li Mi will not be in Moon City?" Li Xuanba said distressedly: "My father told me today that there is still correspondence between him and Li Mi, although I am contrary to my father's choice, he has no reason to lie to me with this kind of thing, right?" But the news that the Wagang thief army has entered the city is undoubted, where will there be a problem? ”

There was already a little chill in the courtyard, and the occasional wind blew made Li Xuanba extremely awake, but even so, it still couldn't make him think clearly about what he was missing.

"Maybe Tang Guogong just wants to disturb the morale of the soldiers defending the city?" Fang Xuanling said uncertainly, obviously he didn't agree with his own explanation.

The half-moon hung high in the night sky, and the stars twinkled proudly, as if to mock the ignorance of mankind.

In the same night, Wang Shichong looked at the sixth beacon fire lit in the direction of Heishi Pass, gritted his teeth, and glanced at Yuecheng with hatred. Extremely unwillingly, he ordered the army to withdraw the camp and return to Heishi Pass.

Li Xuanba led the army back to Luoyang from Yuecheng, disappointed the Xingyang army, and also made many people happy, such as Wang Long and Wang Bian. They thought that the overall situation had been decided, and it would be difficult for Li Mi to turn over, so they all wanted to seize military merit. King Yue ordered part of the army to return to Luoyang, and the Xingyang army was pushed out.

The people who were happier than Wang Long were Wang Bodang, who was standing on the wall of Yuecheng, and Li Mi, who was garrisoned on the south bank of Luoshui.

The Xingyang army and Wang Shichong attacked from both sides, and the army of Wagang thieves fled to Yuecheng, and the battlefield at that time was chaotic, and no one noticed that Li Mi secretly fled south with more than 8,000 people.

The person who led the army into Moon City was not Li Mi at all, but Wang Bodang!

As soon as the Xingyang army arrived in Hedong, Li Mi led his army to besiege Heishi Pass. The soldiers under the command of Dugu Ji were weak, and they were not the opponents of the Wagang thieves at all, and seeing that they could not hold the Black Stone Pass, Dugu Ji raised six beacons in a row.

If the Black Stone Pass was lost, the army of the imperial court would be trapped and died outside the Moon City, and Wang Shichong regretted it, so he could only give up the Moon City and lead the army to the Black Stone Pass to rescue.

At this time. Wang Shichong still thought that Li Mi was still in Yuecheng, and he had planned to stabilize the Black Stone Pass. Re-attack Moon City. The Wagang thieves have been cut off for more than half a month, and the army's morale is turbulent, and they are bound to be captured.

The army of tens of thousands of people was like a long snake, and the ox carts with heavy grain and grass were protected in the middle of the army, and the team stretched for more than ten miles, marching towards the Black Stone Pass.

The development of tile gang thieves. made Li Mi more or less arrogant, but after the fiasco to Wang Shichong, Li Mi sobered up a lot,

He held back for many days until he confirmed that the Xingyang army had really left. He ordered the attack on Heishi Pass, and the development of the situation was all in Li Mi's calculations.

"Duke Wei, the siege of Yuecheng has been lifted, why did you risk attacking the army of the imperial court?" Under the moonlight, thousands of cavalry were waiting in battle, and Cheng Yanjin rode a horse, occupying Li Mi's right side, and said: "There are many of them, if we take a little precautions, I am afraid that we will fall into danger." ”

Li Mi's eye circles were a little red and swollen, and the news of Chai Xiaohe's death made him cry several times. His eyes showed a fierce light, looked at the countless torches in the distance, and said coldly: "The terrain between Yuecheng and Heishi Pass is flat, it is the place where the cavalry gallops, and the heaven-sent opportunity is not allowed to be missed?" Moreover, if the Black Stone Pass is not recaptured, and the grain and grass still cannot be transported, it will be meaningless to lift the siege of Moon City. ”

"But what does attacking the enemy's main force have to do with recapturing Blackstone Pass?" As soon as Chai Xiaohe died, Chen Yanjin's status in Wagang was much higher, and he said strangely: "Shouldn't we take advantage of Wang Shichong's return to capture Heishi Pass first?" ”

"Brother Yizhen, the Black Stone Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with our thousands of people, how can it be so easy to capture?" Pei Xingyan replied with a smile for Li Mi: "If the enemy army at Heishi Pass holds out until Wang Shichong leads the army back, our army is tired, and I am afraid that it will be impossible to even retreat." Duke Wei's plan is called besieging the city to send reinforcements, as long as Wang Shichong is forced to garrison, Heishi Pass will not be attacked. ”

Cheng Yanjin quickly understood, patted his thigh, and said clearly: "The words of the Duke of Jiangjun made the bite of Jin Mao stop, it turned out that Duke Wei didn't let me wait to capture Wang Shichong." ”

"5,000 against 80,000 people, my father is not so conceited." Li Mi chuckled, his expression was a little hideous, and said: "When Wang Shichong first arrived in Luoyang, the army had not yet been integrated, and now he discharged a long snake formation, and the order could not be dispatched, as long as we waited for several attacks, the enemy army would be chaotic!" ”

While speaking, Wang Shichong had already led the army to the front, Li Mi was not in a hurry, and waited quietly in the distance. After most of the imperial army passed, Li Mi gave an order, and thousands of cavalry collectively roared angrily, brandishing their weapons and rushing towards the imperial army.

Wang Shichong sat in the Chinese army, heard the sound of fighting behind him, and thought that the Wagang thieves in Yuecheng rushed out, and hurriedly sent an order to resist the enemy, but as soon as the army put on a defensive posture, the cavalry of the Wagang thieves had already killed hundreds of people and left.

Waiting for the news from the rear to reach the Chinese army, it had been half an hour, Wang Shichong frowned and thought for a moment, not understanding where the cavalry came from, but the situation at Heishi Pass was grim, he had to be vigilant, and then led the army to continue to move forward.

However, as soon as the army had set out, the cavalry reappeared, and hundreds more were killed in the rear.

Speed is the natural advantage of the cavalry, and there is no natural danger to defend on the road, the army can only watch the Wagang thieves rush back and forth, so after a few rounds, the imperial court has lost more than 3,000 people.

"Lord Commander, it's not a way to go on like this!" The rear was full of soldiers under Wang Wei's command, but in just over an hour, he lost more than 3,000 people, which made him feel distressed, and he couldn't help but say to Wang Shichong with a sad face: "The thief army is cunning, if you don't want to deal with it, even if you rush to Heishi Pass, the soldiers will not be able to fight!" ”

Although there was no confusion in the army, the people were now panicked, and they had no combat power in the face of the cavalry, so they could only resign themselves to fate, hoping that the cavalry in the dark would not rush towards them. (To be continued.) )
