Chapter 157: Boiled Frogs in Warm Water
Yang Xuangan listened and glanced at Li Mi, according to the reason, the army marched hard, it is best to rest for a while at this time, but the time is pressing, the chasing soldiers will arrive at any time, he wants to conquer Hongnong Palace in the shortest possible time, seize the grain, grass and gold and silver treasures in the palace, only in this way can he compete with Yang Guang.
"General, time is urgent, I'm afraid I can only quickly capture Hongnong Palace." Li Mi actually opposed the capture of Hongnong Palace, can't he still get grain and grass in Hongnong? Yang Xuangan was clearly interested in the gold and silver treasures in the Hongnong Palace, who didn't know that Yang Guang liked to hoard grain and collect gold and silver treasures? It's just that Yang Xuangan has already made a move at this time, and the soldiers are coming to Hongnong Palace, how can he, as a strategist, not do anything, he can only help Yang Xuangan conquer Hongnong Palace in the shortest possible time!
"That's the flaw of a strategist." Li Mi suddenly discovered his shortcomings at this time, even if he has more resourcefulness, but he can't achieve it, only by holding the military power can he better exert his talents and let himself do whatever he wants, just like Yang Xuangan now.
"To attack, we must capture Hongnong Palace in the shortest possible time." Li Mi said suddenly. Now that the time is getting more and more urgent, Yang Xuan may not feel it, but Li Mi can clearly feel it, he feels that the chasing soldiers are behind him, very close to him. Only by quickly capturing Hongnong Palace can there be a glimmer of life.
"Accumulate goodness, attack." After Yang Xuangan got Li Mi's approval, he gave an order without hesitation.
Yang Jishan was overjoyed, and led the army to attack without thinking about it, regardless of the fatigue of the soldiers after a long march, and regardless of the fact that he was attacking, he didn't even have the equipment to attack, how could he attack.
"General, Yang Xuan is crazy." On the city wall, Li Xin and the others were wearing the clothes of ordinary soldiers, watching the battle on the city wall, and now Li Xin has nearly 20,000 horses in his hands, divided into several echelons, and the captains of the military academy with the battalion take turns to command, this kind of defensive battle is actually not a good way. As long as the defense equipment is sufficient and the defense can be obtained, it will be fine.
"The soldiers have traveled a long distance and worked hard, so they should rest for a while at this time, and then make siege equipment and inquire about the information in the city, and rashly attacking will only result in countless casualties." Su Dingfang said in a low voice.
"Yang Xuangan was too confident, thinking that nearly 100,000 troops would attack a small Hongnong Palace, but he didn't know that the general's army did not go to Tongguan at all, but in Hongnong Palace." Duan Qi's face was flat, but the long knife he held in his right hand betrayed his mood at the moment. The battlefield is always the destination of the general.
"Then let him attack!" Li Xin's voice was very flat, he glanced around, and said: "Our soldiers will definitely grow up after this bloody battle, and after the end of the war, we will go to the Western Regions and fight against those people from the Western Regions, these people are our seeds, with them, we can crisscross the Western Regions and expand the territory for the empire." ”
Everyone listened to the blood boiling in their hearts, at this time, only by making meritorious contributions can they become a master, whether it is Su Dingfang, or Duan Qi, or even Du Ruhui, Cui Xiu and even Xu Jin, only Li Xin's official position rises faster, and they can get more things.
The army fought for two or three hours, the blood under the Hongnong Palace was covered with inside and outside the palace walls, countless corpses were piled up under the Hongnong Palace, and the Hongnong Palace that looked ancient and dilapidated was still standing in front of Yang Xuangan, his face was blue and purple, the fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he looked coldly at the two people in front of him, one was his friend Li Zixiong, and the other was his younger brother Yang Jishan, commanding the army to not capture a small Hongnong Palace, which was simply a great shame for him.
In fact, what he didn't know was that in Hongnong, every half an hour, Li Xin would change the defensive troops, compared to Yang Xuangan's tired soldiers, Li Xin's army was the real new force, like a wolf and a tiger, and it was not something that these soldiers could resist at all.
Li Mi looked at the city wall in front of him coldly, he felt that something was wrong, his own nearly 100,000 troops attacked in turn, and after nearly three hours of fighting, thousands of people had fallen under the city wall, and the other party was afraid that he had lost thousands of people, but why was the morale of the other party so high, that is, it had not decreased much in terms of numbers, which made him very uneasy in his heart.
"General, this soldier of Hongnong Palace?" Li Mi thought about it, and still reminded Yang Xuangan.
"Hmph, it's just a small Hongnong Palace, we must take it down today." Yang Xuan said viciously. Some time ago, he was defeated in front of Li Xin, and in the end he was played by Li Xin, and today he lost his troops here again, and the arrogant Yang Xuangan couldn't bear this blow, he must take Hongnong Palace, otherwise, his prestige will be hit by Yan zhòng.
"Still don't give up." Looking at the rebel soldiers who poured up like a tide, even Li Xin couldn't help but sigh, looked around left and right, and said: "Angry and angry, that's the truth, Yang Xuangan thinks that his dignity has been provoked, the small Hongnong Palace, 5,000 people and horses blocked the attack of his nearly 100,000 army, Yang Xuangan thinks that he is the number one military general in the world, and there should be no such stain in his life, but he doesn't know who his enemy is?" It's a pity. Duan Qi and the others also showed complicated expressions.
The battle lasted until the evening, Yang Xuangan ordered the troops to be collected, and Li Mi took the opportunity to build yì to abandon Hongnong, quickly killed to Tongguan, and used Neiying to open Tongguan and quickly enter Guanzhong. Yang Xuangan also had some intention at this time, and when he was about to order the withdrawal of the army, someone soon told him that the head of his younger brother Yang Xuanting was hanging on the wall of Hongnong Palace.
"What's going on, how can Xuan Ting's head be in Hongnong Palace?" Yang Xuangan shouted angrily: "Could it be that Li Xin is in Hongnong Palace? Yang Xuangan felt a little bad, if Li Xin was really in Hongnong Palace, it would be absolutely impossible for his nearly 100,000 troops to capture Hongnong Palace.
"No, not long ago, an army passed through Hongnong Palace, but it drove away quickly." Yang Sheng shook his head and said.
"General, this must be Li Xin's trick, so that we can stay in Hongnong Palace." Li Mi said loudly.
"But, General, as long as we charge up, we will definitely be able to take Hongnong Palace." Li Zixiong said loudly: "The last attack, I believe the general also saw it, the enemy's defense line is already in danger. If it weren't for the fact that it was getting late, we would have attacked Hongnong Palace by this time. ”
Yang Xuangan nodded, he also saw the situation on the battlefield very clearly, in the end, the soldiers of Hongnong Palace were much weaker in defense, if it weren't for those injured soldiers who resisted, Hongnong Palace would have been captured. He hesitated.
"General, Xuan Ting's head is still hanging on the Hongnong Palace!" Yang Jishan said in a low voice.
"Order, continue to attack Hongnong Palace tomorrow, and strive to solve Hongnong Palace with one charge." Yang Xuangan sighed in his heart. He knew that what Yang Jishan said was what he meant to represent everyone in the Yang family.
