Wang Shichong waved his long sword and ordered the front army led by Wang Wei to follow behind the defeated Pei Renji, while he led the Chinese army to cross the Shizi River and attack the Chinese army under Li Mi's command.

At this moment, Wang Shichong still did not give the order for the whole army to attack; The reason why this hand was kept was mainly to guard against the counterattack of the Wagang army.

Since mid-December last year, Wang Shichong and Li Mi have fought more than 40 times, with an average of one battle every two days.

But the result is that Wang Shichong won more and lost less at the beginning, and Wang Shichong has always been defeated recently, which made Wang Shichong realize that Li Mi is getting stronger and stronger; Correspondingly, he has not made much progress.

Li Mi was praised by Yang Su and others more than ten years ago, but he really participated in leading the troops to fight for just over half a year; However, Wang Shichong has been leading the army for seven or eight years, and he has more experience than Li Mi, but it is not only experience in fighting wars.

At this time, in the Chinese army formation of the Wagang army, there were suddenly bursts of drums, and with the sound of drums, the palm flag beside Li Mi continued to use the command flag to convey orders to the defeated Pei Renji army, asking them to disperse to the side, so as not to overwhelm the Chinese army.

Where can the defeated and fleeing Wagang Army take care of any flags? They only know that they are safe after escaping back to their own Chinese army, and the detour will be too far.

The defeated Wagang army soon rushed into Li Mi's army, which was waiting for him, and Li Mi couldn't afford to wave the butcher's knife at his own soldiers, so he had to retreat slowly.

Wang Shichong watched Li Mi's handsome banner move backwards, and then gave an order, ordering the cavalry on both wings to speed up at the same time to cover the kill.

As if realizing that Wang Shichong's army was coming, Li Mi's Chinese army also accelerated its retreat, and his handsome banner quickly moved away from the battlefield and retreated to the rear.

Seeing this, how could Wang Shichong still have any doubts?

Then Wang Shichong's Chinese cavalry troops also rushed out of the battle and accelerated towards Li Mi's Chinese army; Under the charge of the cavalry, the vanguard of the Wagang army completely broke and fled, and there was no formation to speak of.

Wang Shichong was dismissive of the rout, just stared firmly at Li Mi's handsome banner and led his troops to pursue at full speed.

In a moment's effort, Wang Shichong's nearly 100,000 soldiers had all crossed the Shizi River; During the pursuit, his Chinese army always maintained a tight formation to prevent Li Mi from counterattacking.

Between you chasing me and fleeing, the battle line became longer and longer, but Wang Shichong and his subordinates did not realize this.

At this moment, a rare victory made all the officers and soldiers of the official army crazy, they just wanted to kill more thieves and make more contributions, and it was best to finish their work in one battle, so that the Wagang thieves did not dare to come to provoke again.

As the battlefield gradually shifted and came to the junction of the field and the mountain, a tight sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded in the Wagang army.

The Wagang ambush soldiers, who had long been ambushed on both sides of the hillside, then came out from the side, and instead of directly attacking Wang Shichong's Chinese army, they rushed in and cut off Wang Shichong's rear army.

Then, he quickly routed his left and right armies, and surrounded the Chinese army.

When Wang Shichong realized the ambush of the Wagang army, he had to turn around and kill him, and he didn't have to think about it, Li Mi also turned around and killed him.

Ambushed on both sides of the hillside, it was the fierce generals of Wagang, Cheng Yanjin and Shan Xiongxin, who each led 3,000 elite troops to respond to the pursuit of the officers and troops in the posture of a fresh army, and they were determined to win.

Soon, Li Mi's Chinese army turned back, and his left and right were Pei Yuanqing and Qin Shubao.

Wang Shichong was in no danger, and finally broke out of the encirclement under the desperate protection of his cronies on the left and right, and fled in embarrassment towards the west.

After this battle, Wang Shichong no longer had the face to return to the eastern capital, so he had to lead the army north to Heyang; The wind and rain were cold that night, and Wang Shichong's desolation and helplessness were beyond the description of pen and ink.

Wang Shichong saw that the imperial court had lost all his soldiers and horses, and he had no excuse to say, so he had to tie himself up and go to prison to ask for punishment; But at this time, in addition to the fact that he can barely fight the Wagang thieves, who else can he find to replace him?

There are really no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are the kings!

In desperation, Yang Tong had no choice but to send someone to pardon Wang Shichong, recall him back to the Eastern Capital, and give him money brocade beauties to comfort him.

Wang Shichong couldn't imagine that Yang Tong not only gave Yang Guang a small report, but also comforted himself with good food and drink, and even if the old man cried and promised to defend the eastern capital to the death, and then worked hard to gather more than 10,000 people in the old department.

Wang Shichong had enough of the lack of food before, and now that he has lost the ambition of fighting a decisive battle with Li Mi, he stationed the army in Hanjiacang City, which specializes in storing grain, for defense, which can be regarded as not having to worry about food for the time being.

Wang Shichong didn't have to worry about running out of food from then on, but the soldiers who followed Yang Guang to Jiangdu reached the time when they ran out of ammunition and food, because the area around Jiangdu was already turbulent, and it was not easy to bring in grain from other places.

Most of the Praetorian Guards who followed Yang Guang were from Guanzhong, and their hearts were returned, and from time to time there were soldiers who fled, and they couldn't stop killing many people.

Some palace people sent outsiders to Yang Advertisement to rebel, and Yang was angry and immediately beheaded.

Then someone told the change, and even Empress Xiao persuaded the palace people not to risk death anymore, "Once the world is like this, there is no one who can be saved, what is the use of words, it will make the emperor worry in vain!" ”

Many years later, the Yuan army went out to fight against Huathorn Zimo, and the bearded king was worried day and night, and he was also a generous minister who rewarded peace and cut down the truth; His mood and thoughts are exactly the same as Yang Guang's at that time, which is the so-called covering his ears and stealing the bell's ears.

And defeated Wang Shichong's Li Mi, and then waved his army to enter Kim Yong City, the eastern capital.

There are three small cities in the north of the eastern capital, each with a wall, connected as a whole group of buildings, the north is close to the mountain, the south is according to the big city, the city wall is wide and solid, the terrain is dangerous, it is the military fortress of the eastern capital.

According to the "Notes on the Book of Water", it is recorded: "Gushui is east to the north of Jin Yong City, and Emperor Wei Ming built it in the northwest of Luoyang City, which is called Jin Yong City." The valley is in the north of the small city of Luoyang, because of the old city, with the knot Jin Yong, so to the city also. The knot is the base, and the number is Luoyang. ”

Kim Yong City is one of these three small cities, and after the Wei Dynasty of the Western Jin Dynasty, "the people of the Wei Palace are among them". The Northern Wei Dynasty "moved to Beijing, the palace was not settled, and Emperor Xiaowen disciple Jin Yongcheng".

After entering the city, Li Mi began to repair the walled houses damaged by the war, preparing to rely on them for a long time. At this time, Li Mi's army was very close to Luoyang, and the sound of war drums in his army could be heard very clearly in Luoyang.

After renovating the city of Kim Yong Cheng, Li Mi immediately marched 300,000 troops to form a large array in the north and attack Luoyang's Shangchun Gate from the south.

At the same time, after a long journey, Su You's fleet finally reached the north gate of Liaodong City; As early as when they were still thirty miles away from Liaodong City, Gao Kaidao got the news.

Of course, the current Liaodong area belongs to the territory of Gaokaidao, but it is a pity that the Goryeo people left so completely, they not only destroyed the gate of Liaodong City, but also enveloped the people within a radius of 300 miles to Goryeo.

This means that there are no ordinary people in the current Liaodong City except for the more than 50,000 rebel troops in Gao Kaidao.

The absence of the people meant that there was nothing here, and Gao Kaidao, who had been here for less than two months, had not been able to find any reason to stay here when the food was about to be exhausted.

Gao Kaidao was thinking about whether to go to the Goryeo Royal City to borrow some food, but Su You's fleet appeared inexplicably.

Su You was about to give the order to anchor in the middle of the Liang River, when he suddenly heard a shout from the south bank, and then saw thousands of feather arrows flying towards Su You's warship in the river.

"Enemy attack, pay attention to concealment!"

The soldiers on the ship shouted one after another, but they were not confused by this, after all, they were currently in the middle of the river, not to mention a few feathered arrows, but what if they encountered a catapult?

Su You also had this in mind, so he didn't even send out scouts, and only then did he encounter an ambush by the Gao Kaidao army.

This section of the river is only more than ten zhang wide, and the Gao Kaidao army stood up outside the north gate of Liaodong City and began to throw the feather arrows in the quiver.

The problem is that there are only more than ten zhang between the river bank and the city wall, and there are not many places where people can stand; Moreover, because Gao Kaidao's purpose was to capture Su You's warships, he only ordered them to use arrows, not rockets.

Su You's fleet is also battle-hardened, not only is it not afraid of feathered arrows, but even rockets are not afraid; If you want to deal damage to Su You's warship, unless the place has a sufficient number of bed crossbows, but how can the range of bed crossbows catch up with artillery?

When Su You was about to give the order to fight back, Wang Qi and Wei Ting came together, and immediately asked Su Youdao, "Sir, what should we do?" You can't let you be beaten and not fight back, right? ”

Su You was noncommittal, and said to him, "Haven't you always wanted to know the power of my artillery?" Today is a great opportunity. ”

When Wei Ting and Wang Qi arrived at Lulong that day, Su You had already entered the city for two days, and the battlefield had already been cleaned up; The two of them heard Zhang Junli, who surrendered to Su You, talk about the power of artillery, but they never had the opportunity to see it, and they were already itching.

Su You also intends to show them his weapons, but it's impossible to shoot empty cannons along the way, right?

Su You ordered someone to bring a few balls of cotton over, handed them to Wei Ting and Wang Qi respectively, and said, "You two plug your ears first, so as not to be scared later." After saying this, he ordered someone to give the commander of the artillery,—— "Immediately return fire with artillery, firing a total of five rounds of seven hundred and fifty shells!" ”

Although Wei Ting and Wang Qi politely took the cotton from Su You's hands, they didn't take it to heart, but the muffled sound that followed really scared them so much that they almost fell into the river.

With the continuous sound of cannons coming from more than a dozen ships in the front and rear behind, Wei Ting and Wang Qi also saw the dozen or so cannon barrels that had just been pushed out of each ship, and puffs of smoke continued to emerge from these cannon muzzles.

The high-level pioneers on the shore, who were wielding arrows to their heart's content, did not notice at first that more than a dozen of them had sudden extra barrels on their sides, until they finally realized the danger when they heard the deafening sound of cannons.

The soldier who was shooting arrows into the river just now, when he heard the sound of the cannon, he immediately saw more than a hundred black iron balls the size of soup bowls flying over.

Up to this point, the soldiers had only thought that the enemy in the middle of the river was playing tricks and had launched catapults in this way; Despite this, they reflexively dodged the oncoming iron balls.

After the iron balls hit the ground, an earth-shattering explosion sounded again
