Having learned the lesson of being unprepared and rushing to meet the battle, Li Mi, who was caught off guard by Hua and his brother, made a very careful arrangement on the night of the defeat, prepared all the necessary preparations, and prepared some offensive equipment and night battle torches before the rainy day, so as to avoid such an unlucky situation as Hua and his brother, and won the battle outside the camp but did not enter the camp with the attacking equipment.

What makes Li Mi more difficult is the arrangement of Wang Bodang's side, originally with Wang Bodang's ability and loyalty, Li Mi is sure to take it to the decisive battlefield to listen to it, but now Li Mi can not mobilize Wang Bodang to go north to participate in the war, but also has to prevent the ill-intentioned Guanzhong Sui army from suddenly turning its face and making a move, and at the most critical moment, Wang Bodang fell into the ground, coupled with Li Keshi's good martial arts and decent military management ability, Chai Xiaohe and Yuwen Wen and other powerful strategists also built yì Li Mi left a reserve team with strong mobility to prevent accidents.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Mi decided to refuse to adopt the advice of Chai Xiaohe and others, explaining: "Yu Wenhua and Pifu's military strength is already strong, and today we have just won a battle, and our morale has recovered. ”

"Then what if Master Li suddenly turns his face and makes a move?" Yu Wenwen hurriedly asked.

"I can trust Bodang." Li Mi replied lightly: "Not to mention that it is unlikely that Li Keshi will suddenly turn his face and make a move, even if such a situation really occurs, with Bodang's ability, it is impossible to suffer too much loss, and he will definitely be able to give Li Keshi a head-on blow, so that he knows that he can't win the battle with archery and martial arts alone." ”

Chai Xiaohe and the others nodded, and Li Mi clapped again: "That's it, don't leave a reserve for Bodang, give him an order, let him deal with Li Keshi alone, if Li Keshi dares to turn his face and start a war, resolutely fight back!" ”

After arranging this qiē, in the early morning of the first month of the next day, just after the hour, leaving only a small number of elite and old and weak soldiers to guard the camp, Li Mi took his main force of more than 46,000 people out of the camp, Wang Shichong also personally led more than 25,000 main troops out of the city from Shangchun Gate, and Li Mi joined forces next to the White Horse Temple in the eastern suburbs of Luoyang, and marched north hand in hand. As a result, Li Mi quietly breathed a sigh of relief that Wang Shichong rarely kept his credit this time, and also dispatched more than 7,000 Huainan soldiers under his command, showing full sincerity to join forces with Li Mi to break the enemy.

At the same time, Hua and Brother also received a report from Li Mi and Wang Shichong to go out, and fortunately, Hua and Brother were planning to send troops to fight the enemy today, and the preparations for the big battle were quite sufficient, so Hua and Brother not only did not rush like Li Mi and Wang Shichong yesterday, but also shouted that it was good, and then Hua and Brother did not hesitate to order the whole army to go out, and he personally led the camp to line up, preparing to fight to the death with the two major opponents in the Eastern Capital battlefield.

Fine snow fell on the gloomy sky again, like broken jade powder rice, cold wind like a knife, more than 60,000 Xiaoguo army cavalry just laid a large two small three phalanx, the number of more huge Wang Li coalition army has appeared in the field of vision, the black Li Mi army flag and the red Wang Shichong army flag all over the mountains, overwhelming, like two torrents, slowly submerged over the white snow field, flowing towards the battle formation of the Xiaoguo army, a total strength of more than 130,000 super large-scale decisive battle, is about to start on the snowy field............

The strength is equal, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, no one has an absolute chance of winning, and no one expected that on the south bank of Luoshui, more than 20 miles to the south, a much smaller battle is about to begin, almost at the same time that Li Mi and Wang Shichong arrived at the battlefield of Jinyongcheng, it was confirmed that the main force of Wang and Li's second army was exhausted in the Guanzhong Sui Army's partial division Li Ke's division, and under the personal leadership of the main general Li Keshi, 6,000 troops suddenly dispatched 6,000 troops to the east, and slowly opened to the camp of Wang Bodang, a partial division of Li Mi's army a few miles away, in a battle formation, Wang Bodang was shocked when he heard the news, Not daring to hesitate, he immediately led 6,000 troops out of the camp and set up a position outside the barracks, preparing to meet the attack of Li Keshi's division.

Let's take a look at the situation on Li Keshi's and Wang Bodang's side, although it is very slow, but the distance is too close after all, it was only a little more than a moment, Li Keshi's army came to Wang Bodang's array, and Wang Bodang's army was separated by two hundred steps to stabilize the position, and then Li Keshi also patted his horse out of the formation, and shouted Wang Bodang in front of the formation with a horse lance in front of the formation, Wang Bodang fearlessly also raised the lance out of the formation, and asked Li Keshi in a loud voice on the formation: "General Keshi, what do you mean by this?" What are you doing with me with the army for no reason? ”

"General Bodang, you still have the face to ask me." Li Keshi said loudly: "What about you give me an answer?" The day before yesterday, your brother-in-law Pei Shufang went to see me, I have already made it very clear, I was ordered to lead the army west into the Yanshi fortification to prevent Yu Wenhua and the rebels from fleeing south, you said at the time that you had to ask Mr. Dharma Master to let you go, this is almost two days have passed, your reply is here? Is your camp so far from Mr. Lord's main camp? Can't go back and forth for two days? ”

Wang Bodang was dumbfounded, he really didn't expect Li Keshi to use this nonsense excuse to ask the teacher again, after a little calculation, Wang Bodang replied loudly: "General Keshi, I'm sorry, the teacher has an order, no army, including friendly troops, to pass through the defense area of the general, so there is no way, the general can't let go." ”

may be because he has a blood relationship with Chen Fuliang, Li Keshi is also a person who turns his face faster than a book, and immediately changed his face and shouted: "If you don't let it, you have to let it!" Military law is like a mountain, the general was ordered to lead the army to the east to fortify, whether it is friend or foe, anyone who blocks the advance of the general's army will be killed immediately! ”

Shouting, Li Keshi also waved the horse lance in his hand, and then the six thousand Sui soldiers behind Li Keshi also roared in unison, "Military law is like a mountain!" Stand in my way, and there will be no forgiveness for killing me immediately! ”

The neat shouts of the 6,000 soldiers were so majestic, as straight as a thunderstorm in the clear sky, and the sound spread for ten miles, which also made Wang Bodang's army all change their faces, and they immediately understood that Li Keshi was prepared this time, and he would definitely start fighting today. Then, Li Keshi shouted and asked: "Wang Bodang, Ben will ask you one last time, give way, or don't let you?!" ”

The snow was flying, but a little cold sweat appeared on Wang Bodang's forehead, Wang Bodang was not afraid of starting a fight with Li Keshi, but this will definitely be fought on the main battlefield in the north, once he started fighting with Li Keshi, it is equivalent to immediately pulling Chen Fuliang's army into the battlefield, in the case that the distance is not too far, Xin'an Yun Dingxing is likely to use this as an excuse to meddle in the main battlefield, bringing disaster to the main force of Li Mi's army!

Moreover, with the noble character of General Yun, since Li Keshi dared to start fighting at this time, the main force led by General Yun must have been ready for war for a long time, and maybe they were already advancing towards the battlefield of Jinyong City, just waiting for an excuse to appear, they would suddenly strike a fatal blow to the main force of Li Mi's army, which was fighting fiercely with the Xiaoguo army! - Although the strength in General Yun's hands is not too strong, his sudden attack at a critical moment is enough to determine the outcome of the battlefield in Jinyong City!

After quickly calculating the pros and cons, Wang Bodang chose the strategy of delaying the army, and replied loudly: "General Keshi, don't be impatient, let's do it, since you insist on passing the general defense area, then it's okay, this general will go north quickly, and then go to report the situation to the teacher, explain the reason to him, and try his best to ask him to agree?" ”

"Yes!" Li Keshi agreed very happily and said, "I'll give you two hours, and within two hours, I must hear the answer!" ”

The straight-line distance between Wang Bodang's camp and Jinyong City is only about 20 miles, and two hours and four hours are more than enough for horses to go back and forth, Wang Bodang was a little relieved when he heard this, and immediately sent his brother-in-law Pei Shufang to carry a number of horsemen to the north to ask Li Mi for instructions, and Li Keshi returned to the army formation, and commanded the army to immediately build a fence and fortifications to prevent Wang Bodang from suddenly attacking. At the same time, Wang Junkuo also sent a fast horse to listen to the news, understand the situation, and quietly revealed the news to Wang Bodang, saying that Li Keshi had sent an envoy to contact Wang Junkuo, and asked Wang Junkuo to remain neutral under the pretext that the military order must be crossed over Wang Bodang's defense area.

When Pei Shufang was ordered to go north to see Li Mi, the three armies of Xiaoguo Army and Li Mi and Wang Shichong had already fought in full swing, and Sima Dejiao, who actually commanded this battle, knew that Wang Shichong's battle was powerful, and once the Huainan Army formed a military formation, it would be difficult for even the Turkic iron cavalry to move. Therefore, after the Wang Li coalition army arrived at the battlefield, before Wang Shichong's army formed a formation, Sima Dejiao had already ordered the right wing cavalry to go out and rush to the front of Wang Shichong's army, and then the right wing infantry also strode out and forcibly started a melee with Wang Shichong's army.

Li Mi didn't expect Sima Dejiao to come to such a hand, but Li Mi did not panic, and after quickly observing the situation on the battlefield, he found that the Xiaoguo Army had an opportunity in the layout of the cavalry, and did not concentrate the precious cavalry together for unified use, and chose to arrange about 5,000 cavalry on the left and right flanks, and dispersed the surprise attack force by himself, Li Mi immediately ordered Pei Renji, Hao Xiaode and Xu Yuanlang to lead 18,000 infantry to attack and storm the left wing of the Xiaoguo Army, not seeking to be able to break the enemy's left flank, just to entangle the left wing cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army, Hold back one-sixth of the enemy's mobile force and buy time for the main force to break the enemy.

The war is far more brutal and fierce than yesterday, and the scale is several times larger, the right wing of the Xiaoguo Army led by Chen Zhiluo and Zhang Kai attacked Wang Shichong's army like crazy, Pei Renji and Xu Yuanlang and other generals also rushed like a convulsion Fan Wenchao and Meng Jing's left wing of the Xiaoguo Army, attacking and defending between swords and swords, shouting and thundering, flying arrows in the sky like locusts, swords and guns on the ground collided endlessly, and the soldiers of the three armies were desperately slashing and picking like crazy, smashing with axes and hammers, and doing their best to eliminate the enemy on the opposite side, The roars and dying screams of the whole body were heard one after another, and many of the soldiers of the three armies had their throats cut off before they even had time to scream, or their heads were cut off and their hearts pierced, and the mutilated corpses quickly spread all over the battlefield, and the sprayed blood and the snow complemented each other, beautiful and cruel.

The attackers of the two battlefields did not take advantage, the Xiaoguo army underestimated the tenacity and tenacity of Wang Shichong's army, even if the shot did not give Wang Shichong's army a chance to fight in formation, Wang Shichong's army formed with Huainan warriors as the backbone still gradually stabilized its position in the fierce battle, and adjusted and contracted while stubbornly responding to the battle, and gradually formed a square circle formation that was only not clear enough but had strong defense, and did not give the right wing of the Xiaoguo army, which was already in a weak position, a chance. While pulling the battle situation into an even balance, it gradually began to have some strength to fight back, not to mention defeating the right flank of the Xiaoguo Army, and it was definitely not a big problem to protect itself.

Li Mijun's side is completely lacking in strength, Fan Zigai's dog Fan Wenchao can't even compare with his father's toes in terms of moral integrity and prestige, but he still has a few hands in a tough battle, leading the Xiaoguo army to fight in formation, so that Pei Renji's army, who took the initiative to charge, was like hitting the copper wall, and he couldn't break through Fan Wenchao's infantry formation even after hitting his head and blood, and won the opportunity for the cavalry of the Xiaoguo army led by Meng Jing to attack, and made a detour to rush the flank of Li Mi's army. Although Pei Renji, a professional household of the pit father, was able to maintain a normal level from time to time in terms of fighting, and stopped Meng Jing in a dense horizontal team in time, and did not give Meng Jing a chance to cut him off, but on the whole, the left flank of the Xiaoguo Army still had a certain upper hand, and Pei Renji had no chance of winning if he continued to fight like this.

The situation is slightly unfavorable to Li Mijun, but Li Mi is not anxious and anxious, because his main force and the ace cavalry of the inner army have not yet been dispatched, and there is still the strength to fight back, in addition, there is another point that makes Li Mi secretly happy - that is, the command of Hua and Brother finally put Zhang Tong'er in the Chinese army this time, Zhang Tong'er's position is still in the southeast corner of the Chinese army of the Xiaoguo army, which is the easiest point for the main force of Li Mi's army to attack.

When he was secretly proud, Pei Shufang finally disgusted Li Mi with the news that Li Keshi forced Wang Bodang to give way, and when he heard Li Keshi's domineering and evil deeds, the generals of Li Mijun, who were waiting for his life, were all angry, yelling and shouting to fight with Li Keshi, Li Mi's black face became even darker, and he almost wanted to order Wang Bodang to kill Li Keshi, so that Chen Fuliang, a relative, knew the fate of Tai Sui's head!

The urgent report from the Xin'an side made Li Mi somewhat calm, and Wang Bodang was worried before, General Yun Lao really sent troops to cooperate with Li Keshi's actions, and before dawn, the cavalry had already been dispatched, and they were trotting towards the Jinyongcheng battlefield, followed by an unknown number of infantry, Li Mi couldn't judge whether General Yun's intention was to take advantage of the fire to rob the Xiaoguo army, or to give Yu Wenhua and help in the open fire. For the sake of prudence, and in order to gain time, Li Mi gritted his teeth and instructed Pei Shufang: "Go back and tell Wang Bodang to tell him to make way for Li Keshi, our army will stick to the camp and not come out, see if he Li Keshi dares to bypass our military camp!" ”

Pei Shufang promised and immediately flew back to the south bank of Luoshui to report the news, and Li Mi vented the humiliation of being forced to give way to Pei Renji's body, and shouted: "Go and sue Pei Renji and them, concentrate on encircling the thief cavalry, no matter how much the cost, you must also pull the thief cavalry into the melee!" ”

Li Mi's luck has always been good, the herald rushed to the time in front of Pei Renji, the cavalry led by Meng Jing just retreated to reorganize the charge, Pei Renji immediately adjusted the queue, deliberately let the front team get out of the way, and the rear team carried Meng Jing's charging momentum, and then the front team surrounded the left and right, entangled Meng Jing's two wings, and then threw the rear army into a fierce attack on Meng Jing, forcing the cavalry under Meng Jing's command and Li Mi's infantry to melee.

After paying the price of hundreds of lives, Pei Renji's tactic was successful, the rear army he personally led strode forward, interspersed and interspersed in the gaps between the cavalry, and finally entangled most of the Meng Jing cavalry, Fan Wenchao saw that the cavalry situation was not good, so he could only quickly urge the infantry battle formation to step forward to respond, Xu Yuanlang, who was in front, gritted his teeth and stiffened according to the order, and the left flank of the Xiaoguo army gradually became chaotic at the same time, the battle became more cruel and fierce - but fortunately, it was still the Xiaoguo army that had the upper hand, Pei Renji's army, which was completely burdened with human lives, was destined to fail in his tactics and turn them into advantages.

The fighter plane was fleeting, and Li Mi, who knew very well that Pei Renji could not hold out for much time, did not hesitate, and just saw that Pei Renji had successfully entangled the left flank of the Xiaoguo army, and immediately issued a series of orders, ordering Sun Changle to lead 5,000 infantry to the front, attacking the southeast corner of the main phalanx of the Xiaoguo army where Zhang Tong'er was located, and whispered to Sun Changle to advance slowly, and then charge within 100 steps of the enemy formation, and ordered Yang Defang and Zheng Detao to lead more than 1,000 cavalry each to attack from Sun Changle's two flanks, feint to attack the front and flank of the Chinese army of Xiaoguo's army, Contain and distract the Snap Army.

Then there was Li Mi's killer internal army iron cavalry, Yang Jishan, Shan Xiongxin and Pei Xingyan, the three cavalry generals called in front of him, Li Mi ordered: "You immediately assemble the cavalry of the inner army, Sun Changle's army is approaching the enemy formation within two hundred steps, you immediately dispatch, pay attention to maintaining speed, if Sun Changle successfully breaks through the enemy formation to kill the enemy's interior, opening the way forward for you, you don't hesitate, immediately smash the enemy's flag formation, capture Yu Wenhua and Pifu alive!" If Sun Changle can't break through the enemy formation and get caught in a fight, give me an order to rein in the horse three hundred paces away, and if the enemy cavalry comes to attack you, don't fight them, and flee back to seek infantry protection. ”

"Gong Wei, although Sun Changle is brave, the little power in his hand is almost impossible to open a breakthrough for us?" Shan Xiongxin asked in surprise.

"There is hope that he can open up, and there is still a lot of hope." Li Mi replied lightly: "Don't worry." ”

Out of trust in Li Mi, Shan Xiongxin and the others stopped talking, and immediately rushed down to assemble the cavalry of the internal army to wait for orders in front of the battle, and Chai Xiaohe, who knew about it next to him, hurriedly said: "Duke Wei, for the sake of safety, prepare a messenger who is not afraid of death, let him carry the white flag forward, and when Sun Changle approached Zhang Tong'er a hundred steps in front of the formation, he rushed up with a white flag and asked Zhang Tong'er to defect, so that even if Zhang Tong'er repeatedly, his army would be chaotic without a fight, and it could also create opportunities for us." ”

Li Mi nodded, handed over the matter to Chai Xiaohe to arrange the arrangement, and then looked at the location of Brother Huaji's flag array, Li Mi muttered in his heart, and said secretly: "The moment to decide the victory or defeat is finally coming, a pillar of incense, a pillar of incense, within the time of a pillar of incense, the winner can be decided." ”

At the same time, in the mountain five or six miles northwest of Jinyong City, in a dense forest on the mountainside that can overlook the entire Jinyong City battlefield, Zhang Yongtong led more than 200 cavalry wrapped in white camouflage, and was nervously watching every change in the Jinyong City battlefield, and next to Zhang Yongtong were two different military flags, one was the flag of the Xiaoguo Army, and the other was the black military flag of Li Mijun. When he saw that there were troops in Li Mi's main array, Zhang Yongtong ordered in a low voice: "Be careful, the progress of this big battle is much faster than we expected, and we must be ready to attack." ”

"Prepare, whose flag are we fighting?" The deputy cavalry lieutenant asked in a low voice.

"How do I know?" Zhang Yongtong rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "Whoever is downwind at that time, we will beat his military flag to help him, in short, it is to muddy the water!" Don't let them decide the winner! ”
