The fire in Luoyang City burned for a whole day and night, and the fire brought a heavy blow to the morale of the defenders, but Pei Renji did not seem to be depressed at all, he looked at everyone in the palace with a dejected look, and encouraged everyone: "Don't be discouraged, our reinforcements are already on the way, and there will be reinforcements to support us soon!" ”

Yuan Wen, the son of the king of Anchang County, asked puzzledly: "General Pei, where do we have reinforcements now, Jiangdu City is 108,000 miles away from us, and when the reinforcements from Jiangdu come, we have already let Wang Shichong cut off his head!" ”

Yuan Wen is upright and straightforward, so Pei Renji is not angry with his words. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He glanced at Yuan Wendu and Lu Chu, and saw that they were all full of sadness, but he didn't believe what he said about the reinforcements, so he smiled and said: "Everyone, I Pei someone wants to come and don't say anything, this matter has indeed not deceived you, the reinforcements I am talking about are not the Sui army in Jiangdu!" ”

Lu Chu and Yuan Wen both glanced at each other, and the confusion in their eyes became even more obvious, and Yuan Wen both opened his mouth and asked: "General Pei, you said that it is not a reinforcement from Jiangdu, then which army do we have in the north that can be used, there is indeed a hundred thousand troops of Pei Shilang in the Guanlong area, but not to mention that they are difficult to protect themselves, even if they can rush over to help, it will be too late in time!" ”

"That's it!" The people below echoed and said, at this time, they can still cultivate a little here, and when Wang Shichong launches a large army to attack again, they can't rest like this.

"General Pei, if there are really reinforcements, you can just say it, we really can't guess!"

Lu Chu said to Pei Renji with a bitter face.

Pei Renji stroked his beard, pointed to the east, and said to everyone: "Everyone, our reinforcements are in the east, this person can fight well, there are many talents under his command, there are countless fierce generals, and there are more than 300,000 people with armor!" ”

Lu Chu reacted first, he looked at Pei Renji, saw him smiling, and then looked at Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and saw that he was no longer as timid as yesterday, and immediately guessed most of it.

"General Pei, do you think it's Li Mi? The big thief who came out of the Wagang Army? ”

Yuan Wendu stood up suddenly, "Li Mi is the enemy of my Great Sui soldiers, how can he become our reinforcements?" General Pei, you're not mistaken, right? ”

Pei Renji looked at Yang Tong, the latter nodded, and then he said: "At the beginning of my entry into the palace, I discussed with His Royal Highness King Yue, and now the imperial army is too far away from us, and the distant water can't save the fire, so we must find a way to save ourselves, so we contacted Li Mi, the king of Wei, and His Royal Highness the King of Yue promised to crown him as the king of Wei of the Great Sui, and Li Mi also had to pay tribute to the court and accept the order of the court, and the first order he accepted was to rescue Luoyang!" ”

Lu Chu was a little worried, and asked: "General Pei, will we do this to lure the wolf into the house, even if we use Li Mi to drive Wang Shichong away, but our own strength has still not improved, will Luoyang fall into the hands of him Li Mi again?" ”

Pei Renji shook his head and said: "Don't worry too much about this, Li Mi is not the same as Wang Shichong, he was originally a nobleman, although he proclaimed himself the king of Wei, but he was not recognized by anyone, and as long as he took refuge in the imperial court, then his position as the king of Wei will be solid, and then he will become the right-hand man of His Royal Highness King Yue, and become an important contributor to the pacification of the world by the Great Sui, which is much simpler than his own rebellion to seize the world, Li Mi is very smart, he has seen the general trend of the world clearly, Although the peasant uprising developed very rapidly, it was destined not to last long, so he would fight with Zhai Rang and carry out a series of reforms to the Wagang army, but the limitations of the peasant uprising were also very obvious, even if he made this series of efforts, the effect was not obvious, and there were only two choices in front of him, one was to continue to persevere, and the other was to find a Ming master to take refuge, obviously, Li Mi chose the latter, which has to be said to be indeed a wise choice, he did not choose Li Tang, Instead, we chose Da Sui, which is a fortunate thing for us, at least everyone present and I have a much better chance of keeping the head on the neck! ”

As soon as Pei Renji's words fell, there were dense war drums outside the city, and Wang Shichong's army was about to attack again.

Although Wang Shichong didn't know that Pei Renji had secretly contacted Li Mi, he knew that if he couldn't solve the Sui army in Luoyang City as soon as possible, then his external environment and internal environment would become very bad, in the end, he was a villain, the longer the time dragged on, the more worried the soldiers would be, and then everyone would no longer work for him, even if these soldiers would follow him at that time, But whether some of the surrounding forces will take advantage of their infighting to send troops to attack, this is a bad thing to say, whether it is Li Shimin stationed in Tongguan, or Li Mi stationed in Heyang, they are not too far from Luoyang City, and it only takes a day to arrive at the speed of cavalry, once they also send troops to intervene or want to get a piece of the pie, then the situation is not easy to say.

"Attack!"

After three drums, Wang Shichong gave the order to attack, tens of thousands of Sui soldiers pushed heavy siege ladders and tower carts, and began to advance with heavy steps, on their side, countless soldiers held shields, holding horizontal knives, guarding their front and rear space, protecting the soldiers of these carts from being killed by the bows and crossbows shot from the city.

Today's battle between the two sides has become white-hot at the beginning, yesterday the rebels' attacks bloomed on all sides, but there was a lack of cooperation between each other, which made it difficult for them to expand on the city, and today, Wang Shichong canceled the practice of siege on all sides, he dispersed the cavalry outside, blocked the exits of various roads, and then concentrated the army in one place, using this as a breakthrough point, and launched a fierce attack on the city, therefore, the number of tower carts and ladders of the rebels was much denser than yesterday, And their firepower is also more dense than yesterday, more than 50 trebuchets and tens of thousands of crossbowmen provide very powerful fire cover for the attacking soldiers, for a time the arrows on the city head are more dense than raindrops, the defenders are suppressed and can't raise their heads, the archers on the city wall can't fight the rebels in this situation, even if they have several shields to cover, the dense bows and arrows are still easy to pass through the gaps between these shields and shoot them over who are hiding behind!
