The battle on the Donggou beach was fierce, the Yellow River water battle, the beach landing, the array against the enemy, the heavy cavalry showed its might, and the light cavalry swept wildly. From night to early morning, early morning to noon, the two sides fought more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the battle was dark and bloody.

But in the end, when the battle was fiercest and the beach was landed, there was no banner of the Hebei Army on the battlefield, and no soldiers of the Hebei Army were seen. The only thing that could make Li Mi and the others believe that they had indeed blocked Chen Kefu was the hundreds of warships in the heart of the Yellow River that were only ten miles away from them, and the Chen Zi Daxu fluttering on the huge warship.

Several times, Li Mi stood on the Dongguan Ridge and used a clairvoyant mirror to see from afar a few times that Chen Kefu appeared on the deck of the five-story battleship wearing his iconic armor. Although the distance is too far away and the view is a little blurry, Li Mi still believes that it is indeed Chen Kefu.

As for why Chen Kefu didn't send a single soldier to participate in the war, Li Mi thought in his heart that Chen Kefu was belittling him first, and secondly, he wanted to play with a knife to kill people. Use the soldiers and horses of their Wei army to help him consume the Jianghuai army of Wang Xuanying, who had just surrendered to him. Especially after the Jianghuai Army's amazing combat performance on the battlefield, Li Mi even more recognized the judgment of killing people with a knife.

The strength shown by Jiang Huaijun this time was so amazing that even Li Mi, who had been a neighbor with Wang Shichong for two years, was taken aback. The ever-changing infantry formation, which could not be moved like a turtle and was covered in thorns like a hedgehog, made Li Mi feel at a loss.

And then the 5,000 heavy cavalry suddenly used by the Jianghuai Army made Li Mi's eyes fall out even more. At the beginning, he always thought that it was Chen Kefu's heavy cavalry of the Liaodong broken military camp, or the Youzhou iron cavalry. But when he later found out that those charging soldiers were obviously wearing the armor of the Jianghuai Army and fighting the banner of the Jianghuai Army, he believed with a gloomy face that it was indeed the heavy cavalry of the Jianghuai Army.

This discovery made Li Mi's heart both shocked and frightened. The Wei army has developed to this day, and he only has more than 20,000 elite cavalry, even if all the other miscellaneous cavalry are added together, there will not be more than 50,000 people together. And among these 50,000 cavalry, the real strong cavalry like the Jianghuai heavy cavalry or the Liaodong heavy cavalry, so far, he has only cobbled together a small army of only five or six hundred people.

But now, Wang Shichong's son quietly threw out a full 5,000 well-equipped, well-trained, and powerful heavy cavalry at once. How can this not surprise him, how can he not be afraid.

Not only him, but Li Yuan, Shen Luoyan and others on Dongguan Ridge were all stunned and thoughtful. If it weren't for today's battle, they would never have known that the Jianghuai Army still had such a strong strength.

On the other hand, Wang Shichong has such a strong strength, he took the initiative to show weakness to Chen Kefu and called him a minister. This made those of them who were still planning to defeat Chen Kefu feel a great shock in their hearts.

In addition to worrying, they were glad in their hearts, fortunately, Wang Shichong, the old fox, died. It's a pity that he secretly accumulated such a strong strength, but in the end he was poisoned by Li Shimin. If he knew now that his son Wang Xuanying had worked so hard for Chen Kefu and taken out all the wealth of the Wang family, he didn't know if he would crawl out of the ground and die of anger again.

Some people are angry, some are worried, and some are happy, but no one would have thought that in fact, here in Donggou, in addition to Wang Xuanying's 100,000 Jianghuai troops, there are only Chen Kefu's 600 warships and only 5,000 Hebei soldiers.

No one could have imagined that Chen Kefu was blocked here by the Wei army, and he dared to play the division of troops and dare to fight other ideas of the Wei army. …,

The soldier is treacherous! Li Mi and the others forgot that the more impossible things seemed, the more likely they were. If they really carefully studied Chen Kefu's battles of Pingliao, they might find that Chen Kefu defeated Goguryeo in the first place, and fought more of this kind of battle.

As early as a few hours before the water battle, Lu Shishen and Guo Xiaoke landed on a hidden beach on the south bank of the Yellow River with a full 30,000 Hebei soldiers, and from there they crossed the mountain through a very secret path mastered by the secret service department.

The secret agents of the Special Division not only have to spy on the military situation, but also control the terrain of mountains and rivers in various places, draw maps, buy and assassinate enemy characters, develop eyeline, send hidden spies and many other tasks.

With the trail mastered by the Secret Service Division, even if it is a cliff, even if it is a forbidden area that is claimed to be "a bird can't fly", even if it is called a place where there is no way out, the soldiers and horses of Lu and Guo can cross freely. The path they took was, in general, a dead end.

Because the north side of the path is directly facing the Yellow River. But ordinary people don't know, and for ordinary people, maybe this is a dead end. But for the Hebei Army, which has tens of thousands of people, and it is also an engineering unit that specializes in opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water, as long as there is a small road, they can make a big road. The mountain streams and cliffs that ordinary people can't climb over, but they can't stop the Hebei army.

In order not to arouse the discovery of the Wei army, 30,000 people walked carefully in the dark among the mountains and streams of the mountain. It was not long after dark that I went on the road, and it was not until noon the next day that I finally crossed the mountain that was only a hundred zhang high and dozens of miles long.

The gray-haired member of the Secret Service Division in front of the team saluted Lu Shishen, "General, if you cross this small mountain again, you can already go down the mountain in front of you." Then in front of it is the village farmland, and twenty miles further east is Luokoucang City. ”

Lu Shishen patted the guide's shoulder heavily, he knew that although this old man was a member of the Secret Service Division, he was actually just the eyeliner of some peripheral peripherals that the Secret Service Division had developed in various places. However, the gratitude for this old man is still from the heart. If it weren't for his guidance, they would not have been able to find such a trail in that hidden mountain.

Crossing the mountain meant that they were halfway done.

On this trip, Lu Shishen led 30,000 horses over the mountain, and their task was to bypass Li Mi's army and go around Luokou Cangcheng from behind them. Then, with lightning speed, he captured the city of Luokoucang, which had only 20,000 defenders left.

According to the intelligence of the Secret Service Division, Luokou Cangcheng had hoarded a full 20 million stone grain and grass at this time. This amount made Chen Kefu a little moved. However, there may be an opportunity to capture Luokoucang, but it is impossible to take away the grain and grass here.

Luokou Cangcheng is about 20 miles upstream of Luoshui into the mouth of the Yellow River, this is the largest granary built by the Sui Dynasty, there are 3,000 grain kilns that can store 8,000 stone of grain. Cangcheng is close to the Yellow River and canals, and is convenient for transportation. On the other hand, he was built on the edge of Luoshui, and the grain in the warehouse was also very convenient to be transported to Luoyang, the eastern capital.

In terms of defense, the northeast corner of Luokou Cangcheng is only forty or fifty miles, which is the Bishui Tiger Pass. Twenty miles to the southeast, it is the Baihua Valley, a passage connecting Luoyang and Xingyang. The northwest corner is only twenty miles away, there is the Yellow River in front of the natural danger, and there is the mountain as the screen. The southwest corner is also less than twenty miles away, and it is the eastern barrier of the eastern capital.

Geographically speaking, there are the Yellow River and Bishan in the north of Luokoucang, and Luoshui and Yanshan in the south. Two mountains and two rivers are intertwined, and there are two passes guarding each other. It is a dangerous place that is easy to transport and easy to defend and difficult to attack. …,

Now, however, the Hebei Army, which had not taken the usual path, suddenly crossed the Yellow River and crossed the Bishan Mountains from the north where there was no road, and appeared in the northeast corner where there was no force to defend. It is only more than 20 miles away from Luokou Cangcheng.

And at this time, Luokou Cangcheng, which had 20 million stones of grain and grass, only had 20,000 horses.

Maybe Li Mi wouldn't believe that there would be any danger in Luokoucang. After all, on the three passages leading to Luokoucang, he gathered 120,000 horses in Luokou, and 50,000 horses in the Valley of Hundred Flowers. Even the Yanshi on the west side also had 50,000 horses. Luokoucang Castle was surrounded by 220,000 troops on all sides, and it was extremely safe no matter what.

In the warm sun of April, in a valley at the foot of the southern side of the mountain, the 30,000 Hebei troops led by Lu Shishen and Guo Xiaoke were lurking in various places around here.

After inspecting the sentry posts everywhere, Lu Shishen returned to the camp account, and Guo Xiaoke had just returned from the other side of the inspection. There are still many captains in the army, and they have also gathered in the camp.

Just as they arrived here, the scout horses sent out in front suddenly returned, and a group of soldiers and horses suddenly drove out of Luokou City and headed north. At that time, everyone was shocked, and they thought that their whereabouts had been discovered by the enemy in Luokou City.

As soon as the tent was lifted, Captain Zhang of the scout battalion strode in.

"I found out clearly, those soldiers didn't come to us, they went to Luokou for reinforcements."

Guo Xiaoke was slightly stunned, "Can it be verified?" ”

Captain Zhang nodded, "My people grabbed two tongues, and after interrogating them separately, both of them were right. They did receive a military order from Li Mi and asked them to rush to Luokou for reinforcements. There were 10,000 people who had just left the city, and now there were only 10,000 people left in Luokoucang City. General, this is a good opportunity, or let's attack the city directly. ”

"According to the plan, our Hebei army of 50,000 people, in addition to our 30,000 people who crossed the mountain and bypassed Li Mi to sneak attack Luokoucang, His Highness will also lead 15,000 people to attack the same empty Tiger Prison Pass. And Zhang Dashuai took the remaining 5,000 men and the fleet, and pulled Wang Xuanying to feint to attack Luokou. Although this Wang Xuanying has 100,000 people, Li Mi also has 120,000 people in Luokou, why is it that Li Mi suddenly urgently dispatched troops from Luokou Cangcheng to reinforce him, this is a bit abnormal. Jun Sima said suspiciously.

Lu Shishen slapped his thigh, "No matter what his situation is, in this way, there are only 10,000 people left in Luokou Cangcheng, and our chances of winning have increased by three points." Since Li Mi sent troops to reinforcements, it means that Luokou is fighting very well. Regardless of whether he is a real fight or a feint, our task is to take Luokoucang. Now that daylight is not conducive to a surprise attack, General Guo and I have decided to let the soldiers sleep and rest immediately, and when it gets dark, we will immediately attack Luokou Cangcheng! ”

"Yes!"
