The giant wheel of history rolls forward, turning the dust and smoke into the past, and disappearing without a trace, but although the world has been changing, there are some places that are extremely similar, such as the current Li Mi and the dead Yang Xuangan.

In the face of the fortified walls of Luoyang City, Li Mi persuaded him to lead the army west to attack the Xiajing Division, but Yang Xuangan did not listen, resulting in the defeat and death.

Now Li Mi, as the leader of the Wagang thieves, has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, which is almost exactly the same as Yang Xuangan's situation back then, and his momentum is even better, but he himself did not choose to go west. Whether it was because of the resentment of the defeat of Luoyang City, or because he was worried that Zhai Rang and others would stay in the rear, Li Mi finally decided to continue to target Luoyang.

If you want to capture the eastern capital, you naturally have to defeat the reinforcements first, so when Wang Shichong invited him to fight, Li Mi did not choose to temporarily avoid the edge, and personally led more than 100,000 cavalry and infantry to face Wang Shichong and Luoshui.

Wang Shichong didn't know Li Mi's ability, nor did he understand the combat power of the Wagang thieves, so it stands to reason that he should set up camp first, and wait until he found out the details of the Wagang thieves, and then decide whether to declare war head-on or think of another way. But Wang Shichong did not do this, and he unexpectedly declared war directly on Li Mi.

The spies of the Wagang thieves have found out the situation of the imperial army, Li Mi learned that the Jiang and Huai armies stayed in the eastern capital, and he was extremely happy, and sent Chai Xiaohe to lead the army to fight against Wang Shichong.

The Xingyang army was stationed seven miles on the side of the camp, and since they left Luoyang, they have never seen the Wagang thieves, let alone fight in battle, which is very good for Li Xuanba. However, the weather was hot, and the soldiers stayed in the tent every day. It is inevitable that there will be irritability.

"Brother Yanfu, what do you say General Wang's intentions, neither confrontation head-on, nor surprise attack, do you just let us spend it here?" Under the starry night, Li Xuanba and Jia Yanfu sat on the bank of Luoshui. With a bitter face, he said: "Shixin has asked him several times, and Xuanba really doesn't know how to answer him." ”

Li Xuanba once gave Luo Shixin a good gun, which made the relationship between the two closer, plus they were of the same age, and Luo Shixin lacked roots, so the questions that others were not good to ask would encourage Luo Shixin to ask. Luo Shixin is honest and honest, and he doesn't think much about it. often ran to Li Xuanba's tent and told the soldiers' hearts.

Jia Yanfu thought of Li Xuanba's situation in the past few days, chuckled, and replied: "The lower officials think that General Wang is waiting for something. ”

Li Xuanba glanced at Jia Yanfu and said angrily: "Wait? Did he want to wait for the Jianghuai army to adapt to the climate in the north? I'm afraid that the Jianghuai army didn't wait, and our people will become dry corpses first. ”

"If Childe is afraid of the heat, it is better to stay in the water. The right to escape the heat. Liang Xiao, who was not far away, was squeezing out the water in his clothes when he heard Li Xuanba's complaint. said casually: "The water in the river is not deep, and it doesn't matter if Childe can't swim." ”

Liang Xiao had good intentions, but Li Xuanba was annoyed: "This son can't swim such an important thing, how can he say it casually?" Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Li Xuanba aggrievedly, and said in his heart: Everyone knows that you can't swim. You only dare to fight with others in a shallow place, what is there to hide?

When the water is shallow, it is naturally easy for people to cross the river, Li Xuanba and Jia Yanfu reacted at the same time, and the two looked at each other. They all smiled, nodded tacitly, and looked east. Liang Xiaozheng felt aggrieved, and when he saw Li Xuanba and the others looking towards him, he found that the smiles on their faces were a little weird, and he involuntarily turned around and looked behind him.

On the north bank of Luoshui, more than ten miles southwest of Gongxian County, there is a ferry port called Heishiguan, it is close to Pishan in the north, Luoshui in the south, and controls Gongluozhong, which is the only way for Li Mi to return to Luokou.

The night is quiet, with occasional warm winds blowing through the water, causing ripples on the water.

The Wagang thieves who were patrolling the shore yawned boredly, heard the footsteps behind them, and hurriedly got up to meet them, and after a few casual conversations, they prepared to exchange patrol tasks and go back to the camp to sleep.

At this time, dozens of black figures poked out of the water, quietly went ashore, and then aimed the crossbow at the Wagang thieves who were talking, only to hear the sound of "Xiu" to break the silence, nearly half of the Wagang thieves fell to the ground, and the remaining few people were shocked, shouting "enemy attack" while welcoming death in horror.

Shoot all the patrols of the tile gang thieves, and the figure at the head put away the crossbow machine and whistled.

People kept coming ashore from Luoshui, and there were more than 500 people before and after. When everyone arrived, the leader shouted: "Take advantage of the thief army's late reaction, follow me into the enemy camp!" Then he took the lead in rushing to the defender camp at Blackstone Pass.

There are not many defenders of Heishi Pass, suddenly encountered a stealing camp, most of the people first thought of escaping, some people were worried that they would be dealt with by military law afterwards, so they mustered up the courage to meet the enemy, but they fought head-on, which they were the opponents of the Jianghuai army, they were cut down to the ground, only half an hour before and after, Heishi Pass was taken.

"General Fei, all the Wagang thieves have been killed." And when they examined the inside and outside of the camp and made sure that there were no living mouths, they told the man who was in charge.

In the firelight, Fei Qingnu's resolute face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "Wave the torch and signal General Wang to cross the river." The man did as he was told, holding up the torch and waving it incessantly.

The army of the imperial court had already been prepared, and when he saw the fire on the opposite bank, Wang Shichong gave an order, and the 80,000 army immediately pulled out of the camp, only carrying dry food with him, and crossed the river with water. By the time Li Mi realized that the situation was wrong, Wang Shichong's army had all arrived at Heishi Pass.

The Wagang thieves retreated in a hurry, and the camp tent was still left at Heishi Pass.

In a camp, Wang Shichong, Fei Qingnu, Wang Long and others gathered together, Wang Shichong and Fei Qingnu's faces were no different from usual, while Wang Long and others couldn't suppress their joy, with a thick smile on their faces.

"General Fei is really brave, and he captured Heishi Pass with only five hundred people, which is really admirable." Wang Long arched his hand and said: "The strategy of the Lord is unparalleled in the world, and the road for the Wagang thieves to transport grain and grass was cut off overnight, so Li Mi must be very anxious at this time." Wei Ji and others also praised from the bottom of their hearts.

"If it weren't for the constant war between you and the thief army, how could Li Mi be so careless?" Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Although the Qingnu should be the first credit this time, your credit will also be played in the imperial court." ”

"We don't mean to take credit." Wei Ji raised his hand and clenched his fists and said, "I really really respect the Commander. ”

"Although the Black Stone Pass has been captured, the main force of the Wagang thieves is still there, and we can't underestimate it." Wang Shichong humbled himself, and said: "Li Mi will not watch the Black Stone Pass fall into our hands, pass the order, the army will sleep in the open tonight, recuperate, if the Wagang thieves dare not fight tomorrow, and then set up camp." ”

"Yes." The generals commanded.

"Qingnu, you send someone to send an order to the loyal guard, so that he can use the beacon fire as a signal and be ready to attack at any time." Wang Shichong gave several orders in a row, and finally said: "The stakes are very high, if someone drags the army back, military law will deal with it." (To be continued.) )
