The Jianghuai army stayed in Luoyang, which did not mean that there were no Jianghuai soldiers in the army of thieves, and it was a very simple matter to hide 500 people among tens of thousands. Wang Shichong lured the enemy for several days, and with a steady accumulation, he cut off the grain route of the Wagang thieves.

In the battlefield match, no food means that you may be trapped alive.

Li Mi was very clear about Wang Shichong's intentions, and he knew that the longer the time dragged on, the weaker Wagang's morale would be, so the day after Wang Shichong captured Heishi Pass, he ordered a large army to line up on the south bank of Luoshui and prepare to storm Heishi Pass.

Wang Shichong's response was to wait for work on the north bank of Chen Bingluoshui.

The drumsticks fell on a dozen drums like a torrential rain, without any scolding, the Wagang thieves flowed like locusts to the Heishi Pass, and the archers did not hesitate to use their physical strength to cover the army crossing the river with arrows that covered the sky and the sun.

The huge shield was erected high, blocking the glowing arrows, and the archers and crossbowmen of the imperial court sent death greetings to the Wagang thieves who were struggling to move forward in Luoshui through the gaps in the shields.

The shield of the Wagang thief blocked most of the arrows, but it still suffered heavy losses, and the blood stained Luoshui red, flowing downstream, and the originally clear Luoshui first became turbid, and then turned into a pool of hell blood, which was extremely terrifying.

Then, a corpse floated, the simple armor on its chest polished, glowing in the sunlight. The bright armor and the colder corpses are placed together, forming a great irony of war.

Walking among the corpses, no matter how brave a person is, he will inevitably feel palpitations, but the drums do not stop, and no one dares to take a step back. If you advance, you may live, and if you retreat, you will definitely die.

The fear of death, the dim eyes of his companions. On the contrary, it aroused the great courage of the Wagang thieves, and they crossed the river much faster than before, and the riverbank in front of them seemed to be within reach. But what greeted them was not the dry and soft soil, but the sharp spears and cold gazes of the imperial army.

Thousands of lives have been lost. After all, when they saw the light on the other side, the morale of the Wagang thieves was even stronger, and they climbed ashore with a roar, regardless of the wounds on their bodies, and fought with the imperial army.

There are more and more Wagang thieves crossing Luoshui, and there is no trick to talk about, except for the sound of shouting and drumming, there is only the sound of weapons colliding and blood spraying out on the battlefield.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins. The terrain near the Black Mountain Pass is steep and narrow, and only a few thousand troops on both sides are fighting head-on, and the front army is exhausted, and the soldiers in the rear will fill it.

Wang Shichong lived on the high ground, coldly watching the fight below, and refused to ignite the wolf smoke.

Under the impact of the Wagang thieves who were not afraid of death, the imperial army lost control of Luoshui, and pontoon bridges were erected.

At this time. More than 3,000 people suddenly rushed out of the south bank of Luoshui, and these people were even more courageous. The armor was not ordinary Mingguang armor, their bodies were strong, and their spears were indestructible, and they quickly tore a hole in the imperial army.

Especially for the first one, the silver armor is almost all over the body, revealing only a pair of copper bell-like eyes. I saw the spear in his hand dancing like a silver snake, and in a moment he took the lives of more than a dozen people.

"I've always heard that Li Mi has 8,000 internal troops around him, and he is invincible, it seems that the rumors are true!" Seeing that the defenders of the imperial court were gradually defeated, Wang Shichong laughed happily. said: "Qingnu, you go and meet him." ”

Fei Qingnu bowed down to receive the order, led hundreds of people, and rushed to the formation with a murderous aura.

With the help of the 3,000 inner army, there were more and more Wagang thieves crossing Luoshui, Wang Shichong silently estimated in his heart, and said lightly: "Let go of wolf smoke." ”

The scouts had already passed the news of Wagang's storming of Heishi Pass to the Xingyang army, Pei Yuanqing, Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong each led a thousand cavalry, occupying in front of the right side of the army, the war horses were panting, neighing, the infantry was lined up neatly, the shield soldiers and archers were in front, and the Chinese army followed, and the soldiers waited anxiously for the signal from afar.

Billowing smoke rose, Li Jing gave an order, and the Xingyang army rushed to the north, and dozens of flags fluttered in the wind, which was spectacular.

Li Xuanba stood shirtless on the ox cart at the rear, holding a drumstick in each hand, and Liang Xiao and Jia Yanfu each rode horses, separated from the ox cart.

"Childe, how do you know that the Wagang thieves will definitely attack Heishi Pass today?" Liang Xiao asked suspiciously. Receiving an order from Wang Shichong last night, Li Xuanba asked the army to be integrated early in the morning and be on standby at any time.

"I don't know." Li Xuanba said angrily: "The commander has made it clear that if I drag my feet, I will be dealt with by military law, do you think I still have the right to choose?" ”

"The Commander looks so kind, he shouldn't really deal with Childe, right?" Liang Xiao said disappreliantly: "Because of his words, we have been basking in the scorching sun for nearly two hours!" ”

"Kindness?" Jia Yanfu shook his head and smiled: "At the beginning, General Wang was edicted to crusade against the traitor Liu Yuanjin, and it was agreed that those who surrendered would not be killed, and a total of 30,000 people surrendered to the imperial court before and after, but as soon as Wu County was pacified, the heads of the 30,000 surrendered troops fell to the ground. ”

"Isn't that treachery?" Liang Xiao frowned and said, "Since you have made a promise, you should keep it." ”

"You can't just say that." Li Xuanba glared at Liang Xiao and said, "In short, you have to remember that not all people who like to laugh are like Ben Gongzi, who is kind from the heart. ”

When Liang Xiao heard Li Xuanba's words, he let out an expressionless "oh" and stopped talking, which made Li Xuanba feel embarrassed.

Jia Yunfu chuckled, listening to the drumming in front of him, and secretly said that Li Xuanba was still not used to battlefield conquest after all, so he could only use conversation to divert his attention.

More than 20,000 people marched together, so naturally it was impossible to be silent, but Li Xuanba only felt that the surroundings were quiet, and he even felt that he could hear the sound of distant weapons cutting through flesh and skin.

Although the Wagang thieves were attacking Heishi Pass, according to Li Mi's shrewdness, they naturally would not fail to guard against the flank raid of the imperial army, and more than 10,000 people formed a defensive formation to cut off the road of the Xingyang army.

The drum sounded, and Li Xuanba rhythmically waved the drumstick, and mentally chanted: "Forward!" Advance! ”

"Kill!" There was a shout of killing that resounded through the world, Pei Yuanqing led the cavalry to charge rapidly, the army suddenly accelerated, Li Xuanba turned his back to the battlefield, and his heart encouraged the morale of the army without distractions.

As the commander of the three armies, Li Xuanba really wanted to put on his armor and go into battle, and the sound of swords and fights on the battlefield stimulated every cell of him.

But Li Xuanba knew that since he chose to conceal his strength, he had to continue to disguise, otherwise Yang Guang, who was far away in Jiangdu, would definitely be suspicious, and might even directly deprive him of his military power and let him go to the prison to accompany Zhang Xutuo.

Li Xuanba's psychology is very contradictory, he doesn't want to betray Yang Guang, and he doesn't want to lose his military power, so that he has no sense of security, and at the same time, from the moment Yang Guang went south to Jiangdu, he has already felt desperate for the imperial court, all he can do is wait.

Waiting for the death of a person he was grateful for, this kind of pain could not be told at all, Li Xuanba smiled bitterly, and no longer thought about anything about Yang Guang. (To be continued.) )
