Chen Pojun stood on top of the cloud tower watching the enemy, motionless like a sculpture.

On the Black Rock Beach, what was once fertile is now a hell of death. The clouds hung low, the smoke filled the air, and the air was filled with smoke and arrows and screams of pain.

On the battlefield for dozens of miles, the breath of death was permeated everywhere, and even the entire Luoshui was burning. The battlefield was littered with broken knives, spears, arrows stuck in the soil, and the corpses of soldiers killed in battle, as well as the blood-stained black rocky plains.

The majesty of the fierce fire oil is incomparable, not only can turn the soldiers into torches, but even the fertile land can also burn.

On the opposite side, the once tall and sturdy fortress Yanshi City had already been razed to the ground. The piles of ruins, bricks and rubble, it seems that a fortified city once stood here.

The once wide moat had long since been filled with corpses, and it looked more like a mass grave. The fire oil fell into the mass grave, burning with bursts of black smoke that continued for several days, emitting bursts of foul odor.

The hot wind lifted his crimson cloak and whipped it into the tough face, but he didn't want to avoid it. He vaguely felt that the soldiers on the front line were cheering, but he couldn't join in loud. The victory was only half in hand, and it was not enough.

Another dense projectile was launched, and countless fierce fire oils exploded in the opponent's position, and in the sound of explosions, black clay pot fragments flew one after another, and beautiful sparks with crimson brilliance flew in the air and scattered all over the battlefield. The low clouds were tinted with the color of fire, and various shades of crimson covered the sky. It's weirdly beautiful, it's terrifyingly beautiful, just like the legendary Dragon Flame. The ultimate in beauty is death.

The light of the explosion made it impossible to cover one's eyes, and the flames danced in the air, crackling and sizzling, drowning out all the screams. There were hundreds of people in front of them, either sliced by the cracked tiles, on fire, or both.

The generals who have been in battle for a long time have long been accustomed to hearing all kinds of screams and seeing all kinds of miserable things, and they are not in charge of the troops, and for the generals, they will become numb after a long time. Chen Pojun stared into the distance, and he knew that behind the Wei army formations one after another, Li Mi must be standing there. Li Mi is somewhat similar to him on the battlefield today, generally standing behind the formation, personally commanding the last reserves, and will not go to the battlefield in person, unless it is the last moment, Li Mi will not rush to the front line.

At this moment, Li Mi may be on horseback, dressed in bright armor and wearing a crown on his head. It was a red gold crown, Chen Pojun had heard someone from the Secret Service Department say it.

The battle has reached this point, and Li Mi has indeed made up his mind to die.

On the same day, Chen Pojun led the army to Luokou, first annihilated the 20,000 soldiers and horses behind Li Mi's palace, and then sent light cavalry to catch up with Li Mi. Just before Li Mi's defeat, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji rushed to the battlefield with light cavalry to repel Qin Qiong's three generals and received Li Mi. However, immediately afterward, Li Mi and the others were just about to withdraw to the Yanshi, and Wang Xuanying's more than 10,000 light cavalry rushed to the battlefield again.

Hebei light cavalry, Jianghuai light cavalry, Li Mi's light cavalry and the light cavalry from Baihua Valley came to help, and a large cavalry battle broke out in the entire Central Plains, as well as most of the cavalry in Hebei, Shandong and other places.

As the elite of the three elites of Wei, Chen, and Zheng, the three cavalry with more than 50,000 people fought in a melee, fighting from early morning to late afternoon, until the men and horses were exhausted, and the two armies did not decide the winner.

In the afternoon, Chen Pojun, Li Jing, Wang Xuanying, and Zhang Zhongjian led a 120,000-strong coalition army to the battlefield and joined the battle. The situation on the battlefield changed instantly, and Li Mi's army was defeated and retreated, and it was difficult to resist.

Li Mi's army fought and retreated, Chen and Zheng's combined forces pursued all the way, Li Mi lost his troops and lost his generals, and the Wei army ambushed corpses everywhere along the way. …,

The original total of 50,000 cavalry under the command of the six generals Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, Wang Bodang, Xie Yingdeng, Xu Yuanlang, and Meng Haigong was less than 30,000 horses in the end, and more than half of them were lost. The six generals took these cavalry all the way to escort Li Mi's retreat, and the more than 60,000 infantry of the Wei army retreated desperately, but under the impact of the Hebei cavalry and the Jianghuai cavalry, they were either killed or captured.

At dusk, Wang Dangren, Yang Defang and other generals finally arrived at the battlefield with the gathered 160,000 soldiers and horses.

Li Mi and Wang Dangren converged, and the two armies combined with 200,000 troops, and finally barely stabilized the formation. After a day of fighting, the two armies were exhausted, and the combined armies of Chen and Zheng also collected their troops and lined up. Li Mi was able to slowly retreat into Yanshi City and rest for a while.

When he retreated into the Yanshi city, listened to the reports of the generals, and heard that the Yanshi had gathered all the last soldiers and horses of the Wei State at this time, Li Mi only felt like ashes. There are 200,000 soldiers and horses, but if you get rid of those waters, there will be about 100,000 really difficult to fight. In less than half a month, the Wei State, which has more than ten counties in the Central Plains and has six or seven hundred thousand troops, has reached such a point, so how can Li Mi not be surprised.

However, looking at the tall and sturdy Yanshi City, Li Mi was still lucky in the face of the persuasion letter sent by Chen Pojun. He still had the last glimmer of hope, he still had reinforcements, as well as Nan Chen and Bei Yan. There are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the two countries combined, and there are still millions of soldiers in the three countries combined. Unable to defeat the coalition army head-on, Li Mi simply ordered the four gates to be closed tightly and hold out, waiting for reinforcements.

Li Mi's abacus was good, but Chen Pojun didn't give him such a chance.

After resting for the night, before dawn, Chen and Zheng's combined army of 150,000 suddenly launched an attack on Yanshi.

The Wei army fought and played the tactics of crowds. The Hebei army attacked the city, but it was firearms tactics.

The overwhelming gunpowder, crossbow arrows, stone bullets, and all kinds of firearms, don't saturate attacks like capital, so that Li Mi's fortress Yanshi, which has been operating for a long time, is constantly broken all the time. In less than an hour, the coalition forces cleared all the obstacles around the city, and then quickly filled in the moat.

Before dawn, the coalition forces had already poured all kinds of long-range firepower on the walls of the Yan Division. The arm thick iron crossbow shot from the winch crossbow can directly knock the battlements away with every blow. And the improved heavy catapult can directly throw a fifty-pound boulder into the city every time.

The offensive of the coalition forces was in full swing, and the defenders at the head of Li Mi City suffered heavy casualties, and twelve groups of guards were replaced in one day. However, when Li Mi was about to replace the thirteenth batch of guards to go to the city, the engineers of the Hebei Army had already dug under the city wall by using tunnels, and placed a large number of powder barrels in several positions, directly blowing up several large gaps in the city wall.

Countless coalition troops then poured into Yanshi City and breached the outer walls. Li Mi had to hurriedly retreat to the inner city to defend!

However, after Li Mi returned to the inner city, he did not last long. The inner city of Yanshi was taller and larger than the outer city, and the four walls were much shorter, allowing Li Mi to arrange more soldiers and horses to defend it. However, since the coalition forces have broken through the outer city of Yanshi, capturing the inner city is just a cat and a tiger.

Two days later, the inner city of Yanshi was breached again, and Li Mi's 200,000 allied troops lost more than 50,000 soldiers and horses after three days of fighting to the death. This is also the result of Li Mi grabbing all the prime-aged people in Yanshi City to the head of the city to help defend the city.

After the city was broken, Li Mi took the remaining more than 150,000 Wei troops to retreat again, retreated to Jiushan Luokou, relied on the terrain to form a formation behind the mountains, and faced the Black Stone Plain to wait for reinforcements.

However, for Chen Pojun, this is the time when it is advisable to chase after the poor and not sell his name as a scholar. Such a good opportunity to beat the water dogs, how could he miss it. After the Hebei army destroyed Yanshi City, it took advantage of the situation to pursue and once again confronted the Wei army on the Black Stone Plain. …,

Li Mi was completely surrounded by Chen Po's army in Luokou, all the soldiers and horses of Wei were concentrated here, and there were no reinforcements, even the 10,000 defenders of Kim Yong before were also summoned by Li Mi, in addition to the 10,000 reinforcements, along the way, Li Mi also coerced a large number of young and strong people.

After besieging Li Mi, Chen Pojun and Wang Xuan launched three attacks on Li Mi's camp, but at this time, Li Mi fought against the water and fought to death, which aroused the heart of the outlaw. Li Mi also knew that there was no way back at this time, so he simply fought with Chen Kefu to the end.

The Wei army and the people who were coerced added up to 300,000 people who were surrounded in Luokou. Although Li Mi took all the grain and grass with him when he withdrew from Yanshi, he could only last ten days to supply 300,000 troops.

Ten days, if Nan Chen and Northern Yan could not arrive to the rescue within ten days, then the Wei army would starve to death even if the coalition army did not break through the camp in the end.

And the news of the Wei army's lack of food was also known by Chen Pojun. After attacking three times, the Wei army's desperate counterattack made the casualties of the coalition army also very large, and even copied the casualties in the previous half month. Faced with such a situation, Wang Xuanying of the Jianghuai army should take the lead in proposing to encircle but not fight, and directly wait for the Wei army to run out of food and win without a fight.

Of course, Chen Pojun understood Wang Xuanying's proposal, and this plan was indeed good. But behind this proposal, there is actually something different. In this battle of the Central Plains, the Jianghuai army was originally just a feint attack on Luokou, but it turned out to be the main force fighting against the Wei army. Although the Jianghuai army has revealed their hidden strength, but in successive battles, the casualties of the Jianghuai army are also very large, and the battle has been fought so far, the Jianghuai army has killed more than 30,000 people of 100,000 horses, and if you add the seriously injured and disabled, there are nearly 10,000.

In this battle, the elite troops of the Jianghuai Army, the platoon soldiers, the Jianghuai light cavalry, and the Jianghuai heavy cavalry all suffered heavy casualties. On the other hand, the Hebei Army also had 130,000 soldiers and horses dispatched before and after, but in fact, they fought some tailwind battles and surprise battles, with few casualties and countless benefits.

The common enemy of the Jianghuai Army and the Hebei Army, the Wei State, was about to be destroyed, and Chen Pojun and Wang Xuanying, who fought side by side, also began post-war planning.

The smoke of gunfire was everywhere, and the battlefield was full of the smell of blood. The three armies of Zheng, Chen, and Wei on the battlefield are like three huge beasts, engaged in the final battle of life and death. The fight will never end until the losing side sheds its last drop of blood.
