320 Blood

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the yang energy is at its highest.

It is said that when killing people at this time, you can use the vigorous yang energy to dilute the yin energy produced after killing, and there will be no powerful ghosts to ask for your life.

Li Mi chose to attack back to Luocang at three o'clock in the afternoon, and I don't know if this was also taken into account. But no matter whether there are powerful ghosts asking for their lives, after this battle is fought, I don't know how many unjust souls will hover over Huiluocang.

The sun is shining, sprinkling the spicy light, shining on the cold iron armor, full of coldness. The Zhengyang at noon could not dispel the murderous atmosphere of the two armies.

The bandits lined up around Huiluocang, row after row, column after column, with serious expressions, but not impatient. The impatient Li Shicai had already died, and the bloody human head was hanging on the high pole behind them, making the bandits walk on thin ice, and the horses were slightly restless and lightly stepping on the ground, neighing low, comforting the equally restless grass. The wind blows, the flags are hunting, the clothes are fluttering, and the undulating flags on the wilderness are like a colorful ocean. Everyone was staring at the wooden city in front of them, with a resolute look on their faces, this time, Duke Wei ordered that they would take Luocang back tonight, and they had confidence in Duke Wei. What Wei Gong wants to do, there is never a time when it is not successful!

The clouds floated in, trembling and towering, as if the sun was also a little afraid of the murderous aura here, and pulled through the clouds to cover his face.

There was a moment of darkness in the middle of the day. At this moment, the horn of the charge was blown, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon, and the attack officially began!

There was no dust as expected, and the cavalry did not launch a charge at the first time, but just cruised on both sides and waited for an opportunity. A column of bandits walked forward with shields in hand, and their footsteps were rattling, bringing a solemn silence to heaven and earth.

There are more than 10,000 bandits on all sides of Huiluocang, and they are also columns of phalanxes, all infantry. The more than 1,000 bandits in front of them all held large shields as high as their bodies, and the lower part was sharp, which could poke the ground to resist the attack of bows and arrows and crossbows. Behind the shield, only the helmet eyes were exposed, and the eyes were fierce. The shield not only protected the bandits' body, but also formed a large shield wall at the same time, which completely concealed the movement in the array.

The shield wall was pushed over, and the momentum was vast, and it was clumsy and clever, but faintly, the rumbling sound came, as if there were monsters hidden in the marching ranks.

The bandits' footsteps changed from slow to fast, and gradually got closer and closer to the wooden city. The wooden city is still as silent as death, like an empty city!

**

Xiao Buyi frowned slightly and looked at the sky, his expression was still leisurely, but his heart was also agitated. He didn't expect that Li Mi wouldn't even give him a chance to buffer, arrive early in the morning, and start attacking at noon!

The surrounding military situation has already reached his ears like a fly, asking him to decide. Although the bandits' army was covered by a shield wall, the Sui army had already erected a high guard tower and had a good grasp of the bandits' whereabouts. But sometimes, it's one thing to know how to master, and it's another thing to know how to fight. Xiao Buyi has actually been cheering up the soldiers and the people, but he is worried about the power of the bandit soldiers, let alone others.

Li Mi's formation is self-evident, and it is inevitable to return to Luocang. At the same time, the army from all sides pressed over, which was to cause a psychological shock to the soldiers guarding the return to Luocang. If one side has the psychology of fear, cannot exert twelve points of strength, and is in a weak position, the result is self-evident.

Xiao Buyi can still calm down now, relying on confidence, the confidence of the officers and soldiers in him, his confidence in the officers and soldiers, and the confidence of the people of the Eastern Capital in the Sui army!

He can't panic, at least he has to show this confidence to all the Sui army!

"Tell the general that there are about 10,000 bandits attacking ...... from the west."

"General, there are bandits in the East......"

"There are bandits ...... due south"

"There are also bandits in the north attacking, more than 10,000 people!!"

"The bandit shield man is in front, and the archer covers the shrimp toad cart in the middle. The robbers pushed the shrimp toad cart forward, loaded with sand and gravel, and the intention should be to fill the trench! ”

Just at this moment, more than 40,000 bandits poured in from all directions, trying to collapse and flatten the wooden city.

Attacking a camp is obviously much easier than attacking a city, and you don't need to prepare too many tools. Besides, Li Mi has no plans to attack the eastern capital with all his strength at the moment, and is only ready to return to Luocang first, and then force the troops of the eastern capital to shrink. All the siege tools had to be transported from afar to hinder the march, and Li Mi temporarily abandoned it in order to seek a quick victory, and only used the simplest one, filling the soil!

But in this world, the simplest method is often the most effective.

The ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the ambush traps are dense, but Li Mi only ordered all the shrimp and toad soldiers to fill the carts and fill the ravines and dark pits!

The Sui soldiers created all kinds of obstacles, just to reduce the space for the opponent, so that the bandits had nowhere to use their strength, and the soldiers could not be used, so they tried to reduce the number of enemies! The camp of the Sui army is like a gourd mouth, narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, although there are many bandits, but the exchange of troops is always limited, he Li Mi is going to break this bottleneck now, save a way, and then use heavy troops to hit the Sui army!

**

In the shout, the bandits finally changed from a fast pace to a rush, the bandits came from all sides, the dust of the kick was flying, the yellow dust suddenly rose on the plain, the sound of the car rumbled, and four yellow dragons gathered on all sides, rushed into the air, and rushed towards the wooden city with teeth and claws.

For a while, the smoke and dust were obscured, the sun was blazing, and the bandits from all directions rushed to the ravine, the shield soldiers dodged, and the shrimp toad soldiers flashed out of the cart, struggling to fill the soil in the dark pit of the ravine.

The impregnable shield wall cracked through the cracks, and the shrimp toad soldiers swam out like black snakes. At this time, there was finally movement in the wooden city, only to hear the sound of 'collapse', and sharp arrows rained down, angrily shooting at the shrimp toad soldiers who added soil.

Countless Sui soldiers had long been ambushed behind the outer base, and when they heard the order, they set up angry arrows to fight back.

The shrimp toad soldiers lost the protection of the shield hand and fell to the ground one after another, but the successor shrimp toad soldiers were as endless as ants, pushing the car forward with all their might, and sharp arrows flew down.

The deep trench had not yet been filled in by the sand, but it was first filled with the blood of the corpses.

The bandits shouted, and the archers poured out, half-crouching and half-kneeling, and the feathered arrows shot mercilessly in the direction of the outer base, suppressing the momentum of the Sui archers.

Feather arrows shuttled, the sound was terrible, cutting the suffocating space, the Sui army dexterously used the outer barriers, shields to cover all the geographical advantages, and kept returning the arrows accordingly, in order to cause the maximum damage to the bandits with the least loss.

The bandits also fought for their lives, their eyes were red, and they kept advancing. With shields, corpses, and all the cover, step by step. Although the Sui army was dense with bows and arrows, it could no longer resist the tide of bandits, and the bandits finally bulldozed the pit and rushed to the front of the trench.

In the sound of fighting, blood stained the loess, corpses were everywhere, and the shield soldiers stepped forward to poke the shield wall to resist the feather arrows of the Sui army. The shrimp toad soldier loaded everything that could be loaded on the car, and struggled to lean into the wide ravine, inch by inch, every minute, and the ravine had been added in an instant, eight points, for the bandits to charge forward.

The military drums in the bandit camp were loud, and the northern mountains were trembling. The bandits attacked on all sides at the same time, and finally broke through the first layer of defense of the Sui army.

No one could have imagined that Li Mi's first charge would be at any cost, but his price was finally rewarded.

The black-pressed bandits narrowed the range of their attacks and began to climb towards the outer bases and gaps of the Sui army's camp. Li Mi stood on the hill from afar, seeing that his subordinates were attacking like a tide, he frowned and said, "Xuanzao, when do you think we will be able to capture Huiluocang?" ”

Fang Xuanzao laughed, "Duke Wei, although Xiao Buyi is brave and fierce, but after all, he is alone, Duke Wei is pressed by the momentum of Mount Tai, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, Wang Junkuo and Cheng Yanjin are all unstoppable brave, Xiao Buyi is difficult to be the enemy on all sides, I am only afraid that it will be dusk, which is when the Sui army is defeated." ”

Li Mi sighed softly, "I hope so!" ”

**

"General...... The bandits had broken through the trench in front of the outer ramparts. "There are soldiers in return.

Xiao Buyi was in the middle military tent and said with a smile: "Go back and tell the soldiers and generals guarding the outer base that it's time for the bandits to see the true colors of our men." Herald, drumming. ”

The drums of the Sui army camp were loud, and they swung away from afar, and in all directions, the archers temporarily stopped firing their arrows, and bowed down slightly, and the spearmen and short swordsmen rushed up to defend the main point. The bandits climbed hard, but when they reached the outer base, they screamed and rolled down, their hands bloodied.

The bandits who rushed to the gap found that the spears were pierced here, and dozens of spears were pierced in a narrow opening, and no matter how brave and invincible they were, they were also poked to death on the spot. The gap is a trap, wait until the robbers come.

The back could not move, the front could not be killed, the bandits were completely hoarded outside the outer base, the archers got up again, and a burst of angry arrows shot over, and the bandits were in chaos.

Li Mi, who was far away, frowned when he saw it, and muttered, "Xiao Buyi is really cunning. ”

Fang Xuanzao also frowned, "Presumably they did a lot of manipulation on the outside of the outer base, which made it impossible for our soldiers to climb." ”

Fang Xuanzao's guess was good, the Sui army set up a trench outside the base, of course, it was not as simple as simply digging a ditch and laying soil, and every defense was tempered by thousands of tempers, taking into account the opponent's various attacks. When they built the outer ramparts, they mixed steel needles and iron thorns on the mud and masonry, but they skillfully used them as cover, so that people could not see any flaws on the outside, and let the bandits climb. Under the bandits' struggle, one of his hands had already been stabbed with blood.

The Sui army Mucheng seemed to be peaceful, but it erected hard thorns all over its body like a hedgehog, making the bandits pay the price of blood for every inch of attack. Regardless of the dark pits, dark thorns, and open trenches, they are all skillfully used to exert the greatest effect of blocking the enemy.

In the midst of the chaotic arrows, Wang Bodang was furious, and with a single swing of his knife, he cut off the hemp of his linen clothes, wrapped it around his hand, bit it with his mouth, and shouted angrily: "Rush with me!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, an arrow shot at him, hitting him in the arm, and blood burst out.

The bandits were demoralized for a moment, the main general was injured, and their morale was greatly reduced, but Wang Bodang gritted his teeth and pulled out a long arrow, and did not bandage his wounds, shouting: "Wagang Erlang, follow me!" ”

He shouted and shouted, with a single knife to hit the feather arrow, and struggled to climb to the outer base, he wrapped his hands, although he could not resist the hard stabs at all, but he was on guard in his heart, distinguishing sharp thorns, coupled with the flexibility of his hands and feet, he quickly killed the outer base. When the bandits saw that Wang Bodang was brave and invincible, and he was as fierce as a man, they couldn't help but inspire the blood in their hearts, and they followed suit, wrapped their hands with the available things, and climbed hard, and for a time the outer base was full of bandits.

**

Li Mi saw the bandits attacking the outer base in the south from a distance, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a smile, "Wang Junkuo is calm, Cheng bites gold and is sleek, Shan Xiong is loyal and righteous, but if you want to say that you are brave and strong, Wagang should take Bodang as the first." ”

Fang Xuanzao didn't have much of a smile this time, and frowned: "Duke Wei, the Sui army's resistance is far more fierce than we imagined. Judging from the preparation of these two defenses alone, it seems that they have decided to fight to the death. I didn't expect that there are such loyal soldiers in the decaying Great Sui now, this Xiao Buyi ...... It's not simple. ”

Li Mi nodded, "It's really not simple, Xiao Buyi is something I've seen...... One of the strangest people. Pawndam...... He killed it. ”

"The bandits have already attacked the first layer of outer barriers, and the east, west, north and south trenches have been broken by the Wagang army." Some soldiers hurriedly announced, "General Di Bi and Shangguan Bi asked the general, did they surprise the troops to intercept them?" ”

Xiao Buyi sat in the army, looked up at the sky, and saw that the dust covered the sky, but it was obviously early before dusk. The fierceness of the attack of the Wagang army was also beyond his expectations, and when he heard the urgency of the military situation, Xiao Buyi shook his head and said: "Now is not the time, let Shu Zhanwei and the others rely on the three outer bases, and they must hold on until after dusk." ”

The soldiers did not hesitate to give the order, just because he thought that since General Xiao said that he could hold out until dusk, the generals should hold out until dusk.

Xiao Buyi didn't seem to be nervous, but he knew that when he was fighting for life and death, it was too late to be nervous. Now that the two armies are fighting, all the methods he can use have been used, and now is the time for the Sui soldiers to play a role.

He is a man, not a god, and now that tens of thousands of armies are fighting, all he can do is be calm.

When Wang Bodang reached the outer base, he saw only a few spears piercing, although he was hit by an arrow and his body was stained with blood, but he was not afraid at all.

The fierce generals on the battlefield are all strong in martial arts, and only because they are strong and others are strong, this can survive in a hundred battles. He slashed with a single knife, chopped off the spear, and killed the famous Sui soldier by the way. Roll over on the spot, only to hear the sound of 'flutter' incessantly. At this moment, I don't know how many knives were slashed behind him. He stepped forward all the way, and was about to rush down the outer barrier and rush towards the second shield, only to hear the wind roaring, and a hammer was coming, and the tiger was vigorous.

Wang Bodang was awe-inspiring, knowing that those who could hold the lance would be powerful, and those who could hold the lance would be the general of the Sui army.

This outer fortress is full of Sui soldiers, the attack angle is tricky and strange, Wang Bodang shouted, one turned back, and was forced off the outer base by the Sui army.

Shu Zhanwei crossed his hand and roared: "Children of Dongdu, General Xiao has an order, swear to repel the attack of bandits!" ”

The morale of the Sui army on all sides of the camp was slightly weak, but when they heard General Xiao's order, although it was only a short sentence, the morale was high, and in an instant, the Sui army rose up and tried their best to expel the bandits.

The three words of General Xiao can bring them inexplicable courage, they are not for the court now, not for the Great Sui, for their wives and children, and for General Xiao!

Back outside Luocang, shouting to kill the sky, corpses are everywhere, the Sui army and bandits have already killed red eyes, and they are spilling blood for every inch of land......

When I returned to Luocang and shouted the sound of killing, the outside of the eastern capital was also very nervous, and tens of thousands of bandits waved their flags and shouted respectively, and came to attack the gate of the outer city of the eastern capital.

You Guangmen is in a hurry!

Xiningmen is in a hurry!

Shangchun Gate is in an emergency!!

The urgent military situation came one after another, so that the soldiers defending the city had no time to think about the urgency of returning to Luocang for the time being. Everyone is on standby, guarding the Eastern Capital, guarding their families, young and old!

All the people are panicked, and they don't know if there will be bandits who will enter the Eastern Capital again this time. The soldiers were heavily guarded at the three gates, but even the shouts of drums outside the city could not hide the roar of hell coming from the direction of the northern mountain.

"Li Mi's plan to attack the west." Standing on the Shangchun Gate were still Pei Mingcui and Lu Chu.

Although Pei Mingcui's face was indifferent, there was still fire burning in her eyes, and although Lu Chu was calm as usual, her fists were already clenched.

They all know the most important thing in the battle of Huiluocang, whether Xiao Buyi can hold the strength of the eastern capital, but depending on the situation, Wagang's attack on Huiluocang is far more fierce than anyone imagined.

Lu Chu heard Pei Mingcui's self-talk, and just nodded. Pei Mingcui continued: "If Wagang really attacked the city, he wouldn't not even prepare simple siege equipment. But they attacked with tens of thousands of people, not because they couldn't do enough, but because they just wanted to suppress the eastern capital and send troops. As long as the eastern capital does not send troops, Kim Yong Cheng does not have to count on it, and Xiao Buyi, who returns to Luocang, can be regarded as a lone army. Although Xiao Buyi is full of scheming, he may not be able to hold out for a few days. At least Wagang is constantly coming to help, and Xiao Buyi's people will only use less and less. ”

Lu Chu was silent for a long time before he said, "Li Mi is very powerful. ”

Pei Mingcui laughed, "But Li Mi likes to gamble, he didn't dare to send troops this time to bet on Dongdu, calculated the internal strife in the eastern capital, and even thought that Huangfu Wuyi would take the opportunity to get rid of Xiao Buyi, and then wait for the opportunity to recapture Luokoucang." In fact, he was also right, Dongdu let Xiao Buyi be trapped, but he was helpless, because no one dared to go out of the city to fight Li Mi. ”

Lu Chu's old face had a sense of pain, "I can go." ”

Pei Mingcui looked at Lu Chu for a long time, and then said softly: "I know that Lord Lu is loyal to the Great Sui, but this time you are not suitable to send troops, at least it is more important for you to stay in the Eastern Capital City, and the only one in the Eastern Capital City who can balance the Emperor Fu Wuyi is Lord Lu now." ”

Lu Chu was stunned and said with a wry smile: "I thought you were ...... Let me send troops, I didn't expect ......"

Pei Mingcui's eyes flashed with a sly smile, "Li Mi missed a person, could it be that Lord Lu also missed a person at this time?" In fact, there is no need for Lord Lu to go out, if there is still someone in the Eastern Capital who dares to lead the troops, it must be that person. ”

Lu Chu frowned, "Mingcui, who do you mean?" ”

Pei Mingcui said leisurely: "Lord Lu has forgotten Zhang Zhenzhou? ”

When Zhang Zhenzhou said the three words, Pei Mingcui's face was full of respect, Lu Chu was stunned at first, then at a loss, but there was something strange on his face. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Since Mingcui said so, the old man's old bones are nothing, I'll go find King Yue!" ”

Lu Chu hurriedly descended the city tower, and Pei Mingcui looked in the direction of Beibi Mountain. The yellow dust was rolling there, and the yellow dragon was rising to cover the sky, and under the chaos, tens of thousands of people were fighting for life and death.

Under the afterglow, Pei Mingcui's face was also dyed with a faint layer of gold, and suddenly felt a little sour in her heart, Pei Mingcui muttered: "Sometimes, people are really inexplicable......

**

Pei Mingcui just stood on the head of the city in a daze, ignoring the ant-like bandits under the city, and noticed that the sun was in the west, and the majestic eastern capital city cast a huge shadow, slowly spreading into the distance, and the sky was like blood.

Li Miren looked from afar on the mound, with the same solemn expression as Fang Xuanzao.

It was dusk, but Huiluocang had not been captured yet.

No one thought that the Sui army would still have such tenacious strength now. The four generals of Wagang looked tired, but they still insisted on being at the forefront and commanded their subordinates to attack. There is also a sense of injustice and anger in their hearts, Wang Junkuo, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, and Cheng Yanjin, which one of them are now speaking, they are all famous and powerful figures. can attack with such a heavy army, but he can't help but return to Luocang a little!

Shu Zhanwei, Guan Chuchen, Han Zhen, and Mu Liangxiong may be unknown, but in this world, there are always unknown people who do what they want to do in their hearts, and they may not be destined to be famous in history, but they have at least cried, laughed, fought, and lived here!

Really lived, even if it was only a short period of splendor, and there were no regrets in a lifetime.

The generals sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, for the meager hope in their hearts. The soldiers stepped forward bravely, desperately fighting for every inch of land. From noon to dusk, no bandits were able to break through the third outer barrier!

But the battle between the two lines of defense in front has been tug-of-war for a long time, and corpses are everywhere, and all of them are fighting against the corpses of their comrades or enemies.

Fortunately, the design of the outer fortress was more conducive to the Sui army, which allowed the Sui soldiers to hold out for a long time.

But the Sui army is now not using outer bases, but guarding the Great Wall in their minds with flesh and blood. The people who returned to Luocang City were all nervous, clenched their fists, and only hated that they could not step forward to kill the enemy in person. They finally understood the ruthlessness of the field, but they also understood the ruthlessness under the ruthless iron blood.

It's just that ruthless and amorous are really hard to understand!

Li Mi looked at it from afar, and said with a solemn face: "Xuanzao, beat the drum, and send another 5,000 people to attack and return to Luocangdong." ”

Fang Xuanzao looked at it for a long time, and was a little puzzled, "Duke Wei, you said that you sent people to reinforce Cheng Jin's soldiers and horses?" I look back at the Sui soldiers on the west side of Luoxi, that is, Wang Junkuo, who are already overwhelmed, and we now have heavy casualties, there are not many available soldiers, and the cavalry has been useless. If half of the remaining 10,000 people are removed, if they can't conquer Luocang again, I'm afraid that they will ......"

He wanted to speak and stopped, but Li Mi frowned, "Wang Junkuo used his troops calmly, and now he has broken through the second layer of the outer barrier and broken through the last barrier, but Xiao Buyi has a strange hand in his hand, but he has never used it. When the West is in a hurry, he will definitely send reinforcements. We send people to support and join forces with Wang Junkuo, it must be a stubborn situation, it is better to take advantage of Xiao Buyi's reinforcements on the west side, and when the east side is empty, it may be possible. ”

Li Mi's use of a word or word already represents the hesitation in his heart, after all, he still underestimated the resistance of the Sui soldiers!

**

"General Xiao, General Han Zhenlang will be seriously injured, and the officers and soldiers on the west side have retreated to the third earthen fortress. We've done our best, but we can't resist. "A soldier came in a hurry to report.

Xiao Buyi slowly stood up in the military tent and said, "I know, General Di Bi, everything is according to plan!" Seeing Di Hongyuan nodding, Xiao Buyi waved his hand to the soldiers behind him and said, "Follow me." ”

As soon as his words landed, the man stood up and walked westward, followed by hundreds of axe hands, armed with bright machetes, and his steps were vigorous.

But even if these people were extremely fast, they couldn't keep up with the lightning figure in front of them.

Xiao Buyi's eyes were shining, and he only felt that the wind cut his face, and when he ran to the western base, he was like a dragon leaping and a tiger leaping.

The Sui army in the west was struggling, and the outer fortress had been broken through two layers, guarding the last layer of the outer base, not daring to slack off, but they were physically and mentally haggard. Suddenly, I don't know who shouted, "General Xiao is here!" ”

Sui Bing's spirits were greatly lifted, and he shouted in an instant, "General Xiao is here!" These three words of General Xiao gave them supreme courage and made them suddenly forget their fatigue and fatigue! Xiao Buyi toe lightly, and he had already rushed to the base at an incredible speed. Before night came, the remnant sun was like blood, Xiao Buyi stood on the base, his clothes fluttered, the warring sides heard the shouts, saw Xiao Buyi's figure, and had a moment of peace...... Xiao Buyi drew a knife in his hand, squinted at the bandit in the distance, and said in a rambling voice: "Wang Junkuo, Xiao Buyi is here, you will never come out!" ”

(To be continued)
