When the two armies are at war, the spirit of the army is the most important! Whether you are a martial arts master, or the art of war is like a god, once the military heart is gone, the defeat is like a mountain, and it is definitely not the power of one person to recover.

The Wagang army was in chaos, and the wild horses that had escaped were unrestrained, Li Mi couldn't restrain them, and Cheng couldn't bite Jin.

Zhang Xutuo is a famous general of the Great Sui, the heart of the victorious army, and the heart of the defeated army. He can lead the Three Tigers and Qijun Erlang to fight in the east and west, invincible and invincible, just because he led his subordinates to defend their homeland at the beginning, and soldiers can often burst out with amazing abilities under the urging of this purpose!

Xiao Buyi takes it as his responsibility to protect the Eastern Capital, and his intentions are the same.

Most of the families of the soldiers of the Eastern Capital and the elite soldiers of the Weifu are close to the left of the Eastern Capital, and they are the most hated bandit group in the Great Sui.

No matter how elite and invincible you are, losing your fighting spirit and purpose means that you lack the courage to move forward, and you are no different from the walking dead, how can you talk about winning?

Zhang Xutuo was later defeated, it can be said that he was also defeated in the heart of the army, he can use his personal charm to temporarily alleviate the contradiction of the separation of the army's heart, but he was finally knocked down by the army's heart, Qi Junerlang has long been tired of fighting outside all the year round, the family is helpless, there is a reason to leave, naturally scattered, Zhang Xutuo is not unaware, but many times, many people will try to deceive themselves, Zhang Xutuo's generation of famous generals, is also not exempt from vulgarity. Although Li Mi defeated Zhang Xutuo with the military heart, he only remembered his own glory, but he forgot Zhang Xutuo's lesson, and in the blink of an eye, he was also defeated by the military heart.

Li Mi is a gambler, Wagang is invincible in his eyes, he is already a halo, and in the heart of Wagang Jun, Wei Gong is also close to God!

Under the leadership of Wei Gong, they will not lose, which is the purpose of many bandits who come to defect.

Even if they were defeated before returning to Luocang, in the eyes of the Wagang people, they were still a decent defeat, at least they had a cover-up and an ambush, although they retreated, but it was still not chaotic, but in front of Beibi Mountain, everything completely changed their surnames.

The god in their minds is dead?!

In the chaotic army, no one can confirm this, Xiao Buyi led the iron-clad Yellow Dragon to fight vertically and horizontally, in order to disturb this troubled water, creating chaos is also an effective means of killing and injuring the opponent, even sharper than real knives and guns.

Li Mi doesn't want to talk about leading the army now, even if his surname is worried, he suffered three heavy injuries in a row, respectively in the back, lower abdomen and waist. Rai is strong in martial arts, but he can't resist! He was able to escape from the iron horse, it was really because of the practice of martial arts that had not been interrupted for decades, and his huge potential for survival exploded at the moment of life and death, but holding the horse's belly, he could not come out again to give orders anyway, and the only thought was to stay in the green mountains and not worry about running out of firewood.

Now that he is defeated, he still has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and he can make a comeback.

Li Mi fled in the wilderness, but the Wagang army just listened to the shouts of the Sui army all over the mountains, Li Mi is dead, Li Mi is dead...... The shouts of killing shook the mountains, shook the floating clouds, and shocked the hearts of all the Wagang people!

The god in their minds is dead, how can they not mess up? They persevered from early morning to early afternoon, and the rice water was not touched, relying on perseverance, spirit, and the god Li Mi.

Having lost the hold, no one wants to continue fighting......

The golden drum beside Cheng Biting Jin was almost beaten, but no one listened to his orders, seeing that the general trend had gone, Xiao Buyi's ironclad cavalry had already killed him with great momentum, Cheng Biting Jin immediately made a decision, withdraw!

Of course, withdrawal is a better thing to say, but this is actually an escape, and in fact, if you don't escape, you can't do it.

The direction of escape is, of course, the direction of Luoshui, after Luoshui, where is the foundation of Wagang, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops, so you can't escape your life.

As soon as Cheng Biting Jin left, Wang Junkuo, Li Wenxiang, and Zhang Qian were also lost in the chaos and rushed to flee for their lives in the direction of Luoshui. For a while, the horses neighed and the people screamed, and there was a mess, and among the chaotic army, there were only a few killed by the Sui army, and countless Wagang people died at the feet of their own people!

Zhang Zhenzhou saw the defeat of the Wagang people, and finally beat the drum and ordered the attack, of course, he knew when the pursuit was the most correct, at this time the Wagang army had no resistance power, and taking advantage of the situation to cover up the killing was the best opportunity to expand the victory!

Even if it is a cover-up, Zhang Zhenzhou is also strict in his orders, rushing but not chaotic. Xiao Buyi's iron cavalry also cooperated with the attack, followed by the pursuit of the Wagang people, and for a time the sound of hooves rumbled, thick smoke billowed out, and smoke rose on the side of Beibi Mountain, all the way along Beibi Mountain to the east, pressing Luoshui.

The Wagang army threw away their armor and desperately ran eastward, killing from the afternoon to the dusk, the river on the Luo River was like blood, and the blood flowed like a river!

The remnant sun on the horizon is like blood, outlining the tragic and tragic mountains and rivers of splashing ink!

**

When the Wagang army was defeated, the defenders of Liyang City were also in the process of collapse.

When Yuan Bao saw that the besiegers had climbed to the top of the city, he finally made a decision, withdraw!

To withdraw, of course, is to escape!

In fact, now Yuan Bao still has a curious psychology, who is the person who is besieging the city? Although Yuan Bao was defeated, he really wanted to know who would attack the city. Yuan treasure can be regarded as well-informed, and there is no less siege, but it is the first time that such an art of siege is seen.

From the time the enemy began to rush through the moat, until they rushed to the top of the wall, it took only half a day, and all the routines were like a chain of iron fists, and the soldiers defending the city were out of breath.

Liyang's defenders are obviously not ready, because Wang Ruxin may not have woken up yet, but the opponent's operation is determined to succeed in one fell swoop.

Who is in command of such a well-thought-out army? When Yuan Bao fled out of the east of the city, he looked back and saw the smoke and dust billowing from Liyang, and he still had this question in his heart.

He and Zheng Yi left with their own soldiers, and they didn't inform Wang Ruxin in a panic, at this time, their father died and their mother got married, and everyone took care of themselves, where did they care about so much, their goal was to cross the Yellow River, make a detour and turn back to Wagang. As for whether Wang Ruxin is dead or alive, it depends on his own life.

Although Yuan Baobao fled, after all, he would not tell the city soldiers who were defending the city, but everyone could not find the leader, so they naturally panicked quickly, and more and more soldiers poured into the city, and the Liyang defenders were in chaos and dispersed.

'Boom...... Boom...... Boom! ’

With the last loud bang of the crashing car hitting the city gate, the city gate was smashed almost at the same time when the defenders broke up, and the shrimp toad soldiers quickly cleaned the city gate, sorted out the aisle, and in the distance, the flag fluttered, with the Sui soldiers' uniforms, the soldiers with the banner of the Sui Dynasty came in line, and slowly entered the city.

They were not in a hurry to enter the city, and they did not immediately carry out the massacre, but they gave strict orders and did not disturb the people.

When the people heard about the siege, they were panicked, and they only thought that there was a greater disaster to fall from the sky, but they did not expect that the soldiers who entered the city were strictly disciplined, and they did not commit any crimes, so they couldn't help but look at each other and secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

The panic was quickly restrained to the minimum, under the big flag, a handful of armor on the body, an iron helmet on the head, a mixed iron gun hung on the saddle, eyes looking far away, surrounded by the generals, the end was majestic.

The surrounding generals are also the same majesty, but no matter which one is looking at the leader of the general, with admiration in his eyes.

Because this man is the soul of their army!

The leader was middle-aged, with two heavy eyebrows, a straight nose and a wide mouth, sitting on top of a horse, condensed like a mountain, looking back at the east, through the twists and turns of the mountains, floating clouds and rivers, which was the direction of the North Mountain.

He knew that when he was attacking Liyang City with all his might, a thrilling battle was also going on in the northern mountains, and these two battles seemed to break out suddenly, but they had been prepared for a long time, and they had been discussed even before Xiao Buyi entered the Eastern Capital.

Wagang is strong, if you want to beat Li Mi, you can't be in a hurry, you should first sharpen his sharpness, and then choke his terrain and trap the entire Wagang in the middle of the abdomen.

Xiangyang, Dongdu, and Liyang formed a triangle, and the siege became a trend, and Li Mi was in a dilemma, so he could only sit and wait in Xingyang, Wagang and other places. Although they conquered most of Henan's territory, they rarely owned the passes, not because Li Mi did not do it, but because he could not take it.

Li Mi's biggest advantage is to get Luokoucang, only here, he can sit on a million male soldiers, more than ten years without worry, but Li Mi's disadvantage is of course also in the granary, millions of male soldiers will not follow him to the east and west, not to mention that they come here is just a begging for rice, ambitious people are only a few, they can only be near Luokoucang, Li Mi tied his hands, and now they tied his feet, the rest of the things of course became simpler, continuous attack, promote the internal radical changes in Wagang, and wait until Wagang hundreds of thousands of male soldiers are scattered, What's so difficult to take Wagang again!

When Li Mi's eyes were only focused on the Eastern Capital and Xiangyang, he had not yet realized that the crisis was silently approaching, Xiao Buyi and others had long been plotting for Liyang, looking forward to a three-line battle and sending troops to destroy Wagang.

Thinking of this, the general muttered to himself, "The third brother should also decide the winner, right?" ”

His voice is very light and light, but the words he can say have always been more important. He has always been silent and rarely promised, but when the third brother gave him eternal trust, he also thanked him with boundless returns.

Some men can't do what they say, and some men can't say what they do.

The general clearly belongs to the latter category of men.

The general who is like a mountain is, of course, Li Jing!

**

Xiao Buyi was beside the Luoshui River, looking at the mountains in the distance and the river nearby.

The breeze is blowing, the clothes are fluttering, the flags are waving, and the Sui army is lined up in Hexi, solemn and neat, bringing a boundless killing atmosphere between heaven and earth.

The remnant sun finally set in the west, and the last ray of light fell on Luoshui, with a bleak red, and the river was like blood.

The remnant sun outlined the tragic mountains and rivers, and the battle beside the Keluo water finally came to an end. After this battle, the Sui army and the Wagang army suffered countless casualties, and the Luoshui flowed, reluctant to give up day and night, but for a time could not dilute the rich blood in the river water.

Remnant flags, armor shavings, floating corpses, and dead horses can be seen everywhere, Xiao Buyi finally ordered to stop the pursuit, and ordered the Sui army to camp on the west bank of Luoshui, and the soldiers pointed to Luokou, Yuecheng and Huiluocang on the other side of Luoshui.

The Wagang army has been defeated, and although the Sui army is full of morale, it is also exhausted.

If there is only this Wagang army, Xiao Buyi should pursue it for a few days and nights, but on the other side of Luoshui, there are still hundreds of thousands of Wagang troops stationed, and there is a Wang Shichong whose attitude is unclear, and he Xiao Buyi can't act rashly at the moment.

Xiao Buyi was not carried away by the momentary victory now, and quickly recovered to the best state, waiting for the next attack was the right way, which was not only the only way for him to win the cavalry battle again and again, but also the overall policy at the moment.

Although the Sui army won, but also fought hard for a day, the Sui army is not an iron man, and it also needs to recuperate, and his ironclad cavalry is Li Jing's painstaking efforts for several years, and the capital of the world must be cherished and not easily damaged.

"Second brother, I don't know what's going on." Xiao Buyi looked into the distance and muttered to himself.

The current situation is clear in Xiao Buyi's heart, in fact, when he came to the Eastern Capital, he had been thinking about how to deal with Li Mi, the great enemy, and now it seems that he has finally taken the most critical step.

Judging from the general trend of the world, he and Li Mi fought for the middle belly with all their might, trying to solve the middle belly struggle as quickly as possible, attacking the corner land, and taking the Central Plains! Judging from the middle abdomen, he Xiao Buyi, Li Jing, and Xu Shiji are now going to besiege Wagang in a three-legged situation. He was the main attack in the Eastern Capital, Li Jing was in Liyang, and Xu Shiji was in Xiangyang to feint and contain, if Wagang lost a few more games, most of them would be chaotic, and that was his chance for Xiao Buyi. If the scope is narrowed down further, from the current point of view, he Xiao Buyi, Wang Shichong, and Wagang are also in a three-legged position, he is in Luoshui West, Li Mi is hoarding in Luoshuidong, and Wang Shichong is stationed in the Black Stone Land sandwiched between Luoshui and Shizi River, and the focus of the three's attack is of course Luokoucang. If Luokoucang is recaptured, Wagang will have no food and will be self-defeating.

But at present, it is still an extremely difficult task for Xiao Buyi to seize Luokoucang.

Every battle between him and Li Mi seems to be similar, but each battle is fundamentally different, at least in the two battles of retrieving Luo and Beibi Mountain, although the Wagang army is brave, but it is not full of power. Many people in the Wagang Army feel that the current achievements are already good and do not want to forge ahead, but if you want to grab rations among hundreds of thousands of people, it is really much more difficult than pulling teeth from the mouth of a tiger.

What's more, his current opponent is not only Li Mi, but also Wang Shichong, who has unknown intentions.

When Xiao Buyi thought about Wang Shichong, his eyebrows jumped, and his heart was alert, because he didn't trust Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong is a hero, he will never be subservient, Xiao Buyi frowned and thought, when he faced off with Li Mi, Li Mi said that if the soldiers went out of Fangshan to take Luokoucang, it would be useless, Li Mi was Luokou from Fangshan, Li Mi was very proud of that battle, and of course he would prevent others from returning the favor to him!

Xiao Buyi has no such plan for the time being, but this plan is that he sent someone to inform Wang Shichong, will Wang Shichong tell Li Mi the news? When he thought of this, Xiao Buyi had a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, of course he would not tell Wang Shichong his true intentions, he had been watching Wang Shichong's reaction before deciding how to use it.

Now that the situation is chaotic, there are enemy forces outside and threats inside, so of course you must be careful with every move! Wang Shichong is still a Sui minister, Mingli is still guarding the Eastern Capital, Xiao Buyi has to guard against him, and he can't make the Sui ministers in the world cold, so he still has to think of a better way to deal with Wang Shichong.

"General Xiao's battle in Beibi Mountain made the Wagang army frightened, which is really worthy of its reputation and gratifying."

In Xiao Buyi's muttering kung fu, Zhang Zhenzhou had already urged the horse to come, and Xiao Buyi stood in Luoshui, looking into the distance.

Zhang Zhenzhou was thin and withered, looking completely like an inconspicuous old man, or an old farmer, when he saw Zhang Zhenzhou, Xiao Buyi couldn't help but think of Zhang Xutuo again.

These two people are completely different, but they seem to have many similarities.

At least they have their own unique care for the soldiers, and they seem to understand the suffering of the soldiers.

In fact, they are not familiar with Zhang Zhenzhou, and even they have no personal friendship except for official business, Zhang Zhenzhou took the initiative to come over to congratulate, which is an unprecedented thing. Despite this, Xiao Buyi still chose to trust him without hesitation, just because Pei Mingcui had commented on Zhang Zhenzhou. This duke is silent, proficient in the art of war, experienced, and a founding talent, who can help Brother Xiao!

Xiao Buyi is not suspicious of employing people, but suspects are not needed, this was the case at the beginning, and it is the same now. Even if a Xu Shiji is a great talent, he can't distinguish the intention, and he still refuses to use it, but once he chooses to use Xu Shiji, he chooses firm trust, which can also give full play to Xu Shiji's role and allow Xu Shiji to display his talents with all his might!

I don't know why I thought of Pei Mingcui again, Xiao Buyi showed a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't have much joy about the victory in this battle, but his thoughts were like wild horses on the loose, thinking too much.

"I don't have to go to any victory." Xiao Buyi looked in the direction of Luoshui from afar, and sighed lightly, "There is Lord Zhang's command here, there are the orders of the three armies of the soldiers of the Eastern Capital, and there are also those ......" Stretching out his finger at Luoshui, Xiao Buyi sighed lightly: "There are also those sons and daughters of the Eastern Capital who sacrificed their lives for their fathers, wives and children, how can Xiao Buyi dare to say that these are his own credits?" ”

Zhang Zhenzhou's face showed emotion, "But if it weren't for General Xiao, the current Wagang Army might have entered Luoyang City!" The Eastern Capital lacks a person like General Xiao who screws everyone together. ”

Xiao Buyi looked back at Zhang Zhenzhou and said with a smile: "I am willing to be this kind of person, I don't know what Master Zhang thinks?" ”

Zhang Zhenzhou didn't turn his head, and said after a while: "The old man has been up and down for decades, and he has long been used to seeing the rise and fall of honor and disgrace...... Sometimes, it's a relief to have nothing to do. ”

Xiao Buyi silently chewed on the veteran's emotion, and sighed lightly: "What Master Zhang said is right, it is also a relief to have nothing to do, but it is a pity that the temple is reckless, there are endless disputes, and the Wagang group of thieves are eyeing each other, and it is not so easy to have nothing to do." ”

The corners of Zhang Zhenzhou's mouth also showed a bitter smile, "The old man can't ask for it, so he can only fight again." I only hope that General Xiao can bring stability to the Eastern Capital, the Central Plains, and the world, and the old man doesn't want to pay much attention to the rest of the things, but just wants to unload his armor and return to the field after the world is calm, and ask General Xiao for permission. ”

Xiao Buyi sighed lightly, "Xiao did his best, but Xiao was ashamed ......"

Zhang Zhenzhou smiled, and the two were silent for a while, only hearing the neighing of the war horse in the distance and the water flow in the distance. Perhaps at this time, the superfluous words are no longer needed, and the tacit understanding is not spoken.

I don't know how long it took, the night had completely covered the mountains near the water, and the soldiers quietly lit torches and shone on the two generals, but they retreated gently, not daring to disturb the deliberations of the two generals.

"I wonder what General Xiao plans to do next?" Zhang Zhenzhou finally broke the silence, "General Xiao has always been humble and inexperienced, but after these two battles, I don't think anyone dares to say that General Xiao is inexperienced." Li Mi as General Xiao said before the military, can't wait for a battle, this fell into the trap of General Xiao, the battle of Beibi Mountain, the Wagang army no longer dares to peep at General Xiao, this is a good thing, but also a bad thing, at least they will be more prepared in the future, we want to defeat them, it will take more strength. ”

Xiao Buyi asked tentatively: "In the battle of Beibi Mountain, the morale of our army has been greatly boosted, if you take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Luokoucang, I don't know what Lord Zhang wants?" ”

Zhang Zhenzhou was silent for a long time, "I'm afraid it's not General Xiao's original intention." If Xiao Buyi really thinks so, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. ”

Xiao Buyi finally laughed, "What about what about the adult's opinion?" ”

Zhang Zhenzhou said in a deep voice: "Wagang is strong, although it was lost in two battles, but it did not damage the foundation, and then Luo is the life gate of Wagang, how can they not resist to the death?" If you attack hard at this moment, I am afraid that most of the eastern capital will lose troops and generals, even if it is reluctantly captured, it will be a big loss of vitality, but the eastern capital ...... Even going back to Luo is obviously not General Xiao's purpose! ”

His analysis was extremely clear, Xiao Buyi thanked him in his heart, and said solemnly: "Please also ask Master Zhang to teach me." ”

"Don't dare to teach, what General Xiao needs to do now is actually simple, now you only need to send people to hold on to Wagang, and then send an elite army to keep recovering the lost territory in Henan, and put pressure on Wagang from everywhere, which is also the strategy we have been discussing. The foundation of Wagang is unstable, coupled with many contradictions, and the long-term contradictions will gather and intensify sooner or later, and there will be no need for General Xiao to go out at that time, and it will be easy to take Wagang. ”

"But Zhai Rang is obviously not Li Mi's opponent." Xiao Buyi groaned.

Zhang Zhenzhou said with a smile: "Zhai Rang has worked hard for Wagang, but he is incompetent, we need Li Mi to attack Zhai Rang now!" ”

"Oh?" Xiao Buyi raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by Lord Zhang?" ”

Zhang Zhenzhou said in a deep voice: "If Li Mi wants to attack Zhai Rang, it will make everyone in Wagang feel cold and betray their relatives, and now I am afraid that he understands the severity and will not attack Zhai Rang." ”

Xiao Buyi laughed, "Listening to Lord Zhang's words, this Zhai Rang can't die if he wants to." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Buyi diverted the topic and asked, "Lord Zhang, what I urgently need now is to go back to appease the families of the soldiers and rectify the internal affairs, but there is a need for elite soldiers to be stationed here......

Zhang Zhenzhou said in a deep voice: "If the general doesn't give up, the old man would like to ask Ying to guard the town." Li Mixin was defeated and seriously injured, but he didn't have to attack in a hurry, for now we are holding on here, and the rest depends on General Xiao's actions. ”

"With Lord Zhang guarding here, the eastern capital is worry-free!" Xiao Buyi said with relief: "In this case, I will turn back to the Eastern Capital for the time being......"

"General Xiao, Master Zhang, there is a military intelligence in the east to sue." A herald stepped forward to hand in military documents.

Xiao Buyi unfolded it and said with a smile: "Lord Lu lived up to the trust, and just relied on a few words to make Qin Shubao return in a panic. He handed the military text to Zhang Zhenzhou casually, Zhang Zhenzhou stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it, and also smiled, "Qin Shubao led the troops to the Eastern Capital, but he didn't know that I had already prepared." He couldn't force Luoshui, he could only turn to attack Jianyang Gate, but he didn't expect to be waiting by Lord Lu for being waiting for him, denouncing him as a disloyal, unrighteous and unkind person, Qin Shubao was still a little shameful, he couldn't attack again, and fled in panic. ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, the laughter stirred on both sides of the Luoshui, the river was smooth, and the three armies showed their faces!

**

After Xiao Buyi left Zhang Zhenzhou temporarily, he led the elite soldiers to return to Luoyang temporarily.

All the way, the horse's hooves were fast, and they returned to Luoyang in the early morning. Xiao Buyi was in high spirits, and not tired, seeing that the eastern capital finally fell silent, but the nine battalion chain has begun to take shape, the heart is happy, the nine battalion chain is temporarily against Wagang, but in the long run, it is also a measure against the enemy, the camp is built according to the city, the corners are facing each other, and Wagang will definitely not be good again.

Every time he prepares more, Xiao Buyi has more confidence and more capital to fight against Wagang.

Xiao Buyi and the soldiers quietly came to the outside of the eastern capital, the soldiers defending the city had already seen it, and quickly stepped forward to open the city gate to greet them, Xiao Buyi didn't want to disturb the people, so they didn't want to cheer and quietly entered the city.

He entered the city from the Shangchun Gate, the sound of the horse's hooves broke through the silence of the early morning...... the sound of 'rushing' was crisp and pleasant, Xiao Buyi was still thinking about whether he would see King Yue or Lu Chu first, and suddenly reined in the horse's reins, with tears in his eyes.

He only thought that the soldiers and civilians of the Eastern Capital were still asleep, but he didn't expect that looking at the ten-mile long street, the soldiers and people lined up in two lines early and watched quietly...... Everyone's eyes are with the same teardrops as the morning dew, crystal clear, but the teardrops are full of the same admiration as the morning sun, supreme glory!
