June 29, dusk, Michi battlefield.

Zheng Yuanshou commanded the defenders of the city, braved the dense long arrows shot from the smoke, and paid the price of hundreds of casualties, and finally succeeded in erecting an improvised pontoon bridge over the moat. He then ordered the guards to push hundreds of wagons across the pontoon bridge, and successfully established a bridgehead with the carts as a formation. With pontoon bridges, bridgeheads, and a strong urn city as the backing, the defenders inside the city can launch a diversion attack on the rebels outside the city without worrying about advancing and retreating.

Zheng Yuanshou personally commanded the front line and clearly told the officers that with the thousands of troops in the city, they could not tear through the rebel defense line at all, nor could they meet the main army of Xijing to break through the siege of the rebels.

After the goal was clear, the officers' cowardice eased, and they thought that the commanders would sacrifice their lives for the sake of their own interests, regardless of the fact that the enemy was strong and weak, but the result was that they thought wrongly, made a false alarm, and then morale came. Zheng Yuanshou asked them to attack in turn as a regiment, connected to each other, in solidarity, once the front resistance is large, the rebels may be outflanked from both flanks, so they retreat quickly, not impulsively, not delayed, as long as the army is alive, then they can continue to attack, firmly contain a part of the rebels, so that even if the task is completed, as for whether it can help the main army of Xijing, it can only depend on the mind of the heavens, if the heavens favor, then a qiē shun lì.

The defenders in the city strictly followed Zheng Yuanshou's orders, and under the cover of night and dense fog, launched an attack on the alliance army, and the alliance army tried to lure the enemy deep into the city according to the established strategy, surrounded and annihilated, but the defenders in the city were like cunning foxes, as if they had seen through the opponent's mind, and every time they reached the edge of the trap, they resolutely retreated, not giving the alliance army any chance. After a few rendezvous, Zheng Yuanshou's conservative offensive was exposed in front of Li Fengyun, and there was nothing to hide, but Li Fengyun couldn't induce Zheng Yuanshou, an old turtle, to fall into the trap, so he could only watch him stretch out his head and shrink his head to play by himself, and he was at a loss, and what especially made Li Fengyun helpless was that he was restrained by Zheng Yuanshou, and now not only the Fengyun Army besieging the city was "unable to move", but even the Fifth Army of the Alliance, which was transferred from the Eastern Front to encircle Zheng Yuanshou, was also "trapped".

The battle on the eastern front has been very fierce, the main army of Xijing appeared very resolute and patient on the way to break through, facing a series of trenches and a number of horse rejection formations, as well as overwhelming arrow arrays, they are like tireless "worker ants", stubbornly advancing in death and blood, they have climbed over one trench after another, and removed one after another horse rejection formation, no matter how big the casualties, they can not stop the pace of their attack.

In the face of such a group of "beasts" who ignore death and pain, the alliance soldiers are also cold, if the two sides are scuffled, hand-to-hand combat, it is estimated that the alliance side has suffered heavy casualties, fortunately, Li Fengyun does not allow them to fight with the Xijing army in close quarters at all, Li Fengyun's order is very simple, do everything to delay the opponent's breakthrough speed, and try every means to kill and consume the opponent, as long as you hold on until tomorrow night, this decisive battle will be won.

At midnight, Zhen Baoche reported urgently that the Xijing army had advanced for two miles, but there was still no sign of pausing to rest, and the other party's Zhu Yingyang had been taking turns to fight, and the battle for this breakthrough was becoming more and more intense. Zhen Bao Che Jianyì, now the southeast wind is blowing, if you set fire to the trees on both sides of the avenue and launch a fire attack, you can force the opponent to retreat, and you will not be able to launch a counterattack in a short time, so you can win more time for your own defense.

Li Fengyun flatly refused. Fire attack is a "double-edged sword", although a small area of fire attack can temporarily force the enemy back, but if the enemy holds the determination to burn the jade and stones, and lights fire everywhere to increase the fire, but the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, the wind direction changes abruptly, and the fire burns to their own side by the wind, then the defense array will be destroyed in a flash, and they will harm themselves in vain. Li Fengyun told Zhen Baoche that he was not afraid of 10,000, he was afraid of what happened, and if he was forced to do so, he should not attack with fire.

However, according to the speed of the breakthrough of the Xijing army, the alliance army will not be able to retreat tomorrow, the two sides will have to fight hand-to-hand, and the alliance soldiers will have to pay a huge price, and if the wind direction is right at that time, it can launch a fire attack, although the risk is very large, but in order to preserve strength, the alliance army has to take a risk.

However, Yang Xuangan's distrust gave Li Fengyun a better chance to preserve his strength. Now Yang Jishan is crossing the valley with tens of thousands of troops under the cover of night, and he can rush to the city of Mianchi before dawn, and then enter the battlefield on the eastern front of Mianchi to intercept the Xijing army, and then there is no need to risk launching a fire attack, as long as the alliance army cooperates with Yang Jishan.

On June 30, in the early morning, Zheng Yuanshou's offensive slowed down rapidly, and the exhausted Weifu soldiers took turns to withdraw to the city to rest, and on the eastern front of Michi, the offensive of the main army of Xijing also slowed down, and Pang Yu, the general of the Jianmen Zhige, who had just rested for two hours, led his Praetorian Guard soldiers into the battlefield again. Xiahou Zhe, deputy head of the alliance, commanded the first army of the alliance to bravely resist the attack, and the deafening sound of drums and trumpets and fighting resounded through the night.

Before dawn, Li Fengyun, who was asleep, was woken up by Li Mi's shout. Yang Jishan arrived, and the army led by him was entering the city of Michi.

Li Fengyun immediately ordered the news to be told to all the troops in order to boost morale and encourage the exhausted soldiers to rise up and fight for another day.

When Yang Jishan saw Li Fengyun, although he was quite polite, he was arrogant on his face, and the alliance army was just a group of rabble in his eyes, and he couldn't stop the Xijing army at all. Li Fengyun didn't care about this, Yang Xuangan's distrust made him very disappointed, but from the standpoint of the alliance, this is a good thing, it can preserve the strength of Cheng Da to the maximum, and Li Fengyun has taken a big advantage. That's what Yang Jishan thought, the cooperation between the two sides has always been Li Fengyun taking advantage, and Yang Xuan feeling a loss, which made Yang Jishan extremely dissatisfied, and this dissatisfaction became more and more strict as he entered the Mianchi battlefield instead of the alliance army to block the Xijing army head-on, so that he put forward a request for command to Li Fengyun.

Li Mi was surprised, he never expected Yang Jishan to be arrogant and domineering to such an unreasonable point, you are here to support, not to snatch Li Fengyun's command, do you still have the overall situation?

Li Fengyun was also surprised, stunned by Yang Jishan's arrogance that he thought he could override Yiqiē. Yang Jishan is like this, it is conceivable that Yang Xuangan, Yang Xuanting brothers, and those members of the mutiny alliance, it is estimated that they are all this kind of arrogance that tramples the world under their feet. No wonder these people dare to rebel under very unfavorable conditions, it turns out that there is still this kind of arrogant psychology, but it is normal to think about it, if this group of rentiers who are at the top of the power are not empty-eyed, if they do not think that they are sacrosanct, how can they dare to change the world?

The only hope left in Li Fengyun's heart was suddenly shattered, he knew that he had misinterpreted the history in this memory, although there were various complex reasons for Yang Xuangan's failure, but "people" was the most important factor, Yang Xuangan and his followers were "noble" because of "noble", and the result was a complete failure.

In Li Mi's worried eyes, in Yang Jishan's aggressive eyes, Li Fengyun was as calm as water, and smiled slightly, "Yue Gong is unwilling to hand over his fate to others, and it is the same." You are given two choices, one is where you come from and where you go back; Second, you honestly go where you should go, otherwise someone will cut you first, then Wei Wensheng, and finally chop off Yue Gong's head to buy a way out of the Eastern Capital. ”

Li Mi changed color in shock.

Yang Jishan was furious, his eyes were fierce, and he couldn't wait to eat Li Fengyun alive.

Li Fengyun's eyes were cold, and his expression was indifferent, like looking at a dead man, "You can try, as long as your hand holds the handle of the knife, so-and-so will cut you." ”

Yang Jishan's hand was about to grasp the hilt of the knife. Li Mi's eyes were quick, and he rushed forward with an arrow step, hugged Yang Jishan's arm, and pleaded in a low voice, "The overall situation is important, please Huai'an Gong must focus on the overall situation, don't be rash, because of small losses." ”

Yang Jishan glared angrily, his eyes were about to split.

Li Mi was worried that something would happen, and glanced at several guards behind Yang Jishan, everyone understood, and dragged Yang Jishan out of the military tent in a blink of an eye.

When Li Mi entered the military tent again, his face was very ugly, and he knew that the Yang brothers had completely angered Li Fengyun, and the great shape was completely lost.

"Yang Jishan is not stupid enough to be so stupid." Li Fengyun sneered, "Yang Xuangan has done it, he thinks that the victory is in his hands, Wei Wensheng is already in the bag, and he wants to attack a certain and an alliance." Speaking of this, Li Fengyun shook his head again and again, smiling bitterly, "What does Yang Xuan think about?" Does he still have the big picture? Did he really think that the army of a certain alliance was a rabble, vulnerable? ”

Li Mi was speechless. Indeed, Yang Jishan is not so stupid as to be, this must be Yang Xuangan's instructions, and the reason why Yang Xuangan made such a dangerous "temptation" is obviously to kill Li Fengyun and the alliance army. Of course, at this moment, Yang Xuangan will not make a cannibalistic and self-destructive move, his purpose is to annex, is to coerce Li Fengyun to take the alliance army to the west with him into Guanzhong.

Li Mi sighed bitterly and had to try his best to cover it up, "You misunderstood Yue Gong, this matter must have nothing to do with Yue Gong." You don't know Yang Jishan and his person, if you know something about him, know that he is arrogant and self-serving, you won't care about what happened just now, and you won't make many absurd associations. ”

Li Fengyun smiled, unintentionally entangled. After the decisive battle, he was about to leave the Eastern Capital, and he had nothing to do with Yang Xuangan from now on, so the top priority was to win the decisive battle, not to kill Yang Xuangan.

"Yang Jishan will be handed over to you, and you will coordinate in the middle." Li Fengyun said decisively, "You know a certain defensive strategy, so you have to launch a fire attack as a last resort, and you must not lose the line of defense because of Yang Jishan's arrogance." ”

Li Mi breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.
