Chapter 328: Waiting in Pain

The bloody battle was fought until the evening, until the sky was slightly dark, seeing that the Sui army was well guarded and there was no hope of breaking the camp, Zhai Rang found Li Mi to discuss the retreat, Li Mi blinked treacherous eyes and pondered for a moment, although he agreed to the Wagang army to withdraw from the battlefield, but it was attached to Zhai Rang's ear, muttering in a low voice, Zhai Rang's face was happy, and Li Mi acted separately.

After Zhai Rang and Li Mi each conveyed the order, the golden gong sounded, and the exhausted Wagang soldiers withdrew from the battlefield next to the camp that was already full of corpses to rest, but the same exhausted Sui soldiers did not dare to be careless at all, while seizing the time to drink water and dry food, and receiving torches for night battles to prevent accidents, while rushing to repair damaged fortifications, rescue and carry wounded soldiers, until they saw that the Zhai and Li coalition troops withdrew from the battlefield in turn, changed the rear team to the front team and retreated to the other side of the Shizi River, and the Sui army camp burst into cheers of victory. Countless soldiers of the Sui army also sat on the ground with their butts, gasping for breath, glad that the enemy had finally retreated.

The commander of the Sui army, Chen Fuliang, was also extremely relieved, and immediately ordered the second-line fresh army to clean up the battlefield, make every effort to search and rescue the light and serious wounded on the battlefield, and rotate the exhausted first-line troops back to the camp to rest, and at the same time immediately sent people to contact Luokou Cangcheng to understand the losses there, and then left the command platform and went to the front line to inspect the army.

This time it was Chen Fuliang's turn to miscalculate, with the 6 retreats of the Zhai and Li coalition army across the Shizi River, the more relaxed the tired Sui army soldiers became, and the Li Mijun Hao Xiaode Department who walked in the last to the palace of the whole army also quietly prepared for a surprise attack, after a gunpowder bottle exploded, Hao Xiaode, who was always facing the Sui army camp, suddenly attacked the whole army, and the tide generally came up towards the Sui army camp again, and the Sui army units that were in rotation were suddenly in chaos, and Chen Fuliang was also suddenly taken aback, and screamed: "Oops! Hit the trick! It's a fraud! ”

The result of the plan is, of course, to pay a heavy price, the officers and men of the Sui army have been relaxed and their fighting spirit has declined, and chaos is inevitable in front of the enemy's fresh force that suddenly turned around and killed, and naturally they will not be able to delay the enemy's charge so effectively before, blocking the enemy's impact on the camp fortifications, and the well-equipped Hao Xiaode army almost flew to the side of the Sui army's camp, and the first and second line teams were crowded together under the surprise of the Sui army, not only the casualties immediately expanded, but the fence defense line was also immediately urgent.

At the same time, the Zhai-Li coalition army, which had been prepared in advance, also immediately turned around, several new forces rushed to cross the Shizi River first, some of them made a feint attack on Luokou Cangcheng, and some of them quickly came to the rear of Hao Xiaode's army to assemble and line up, ready to follow Hao Xiaode's troops to charge at any time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Fuliang could only hurriedly play his last card in the southern camp, and ordered the old man to report that he would immediately leave the camp from the north gate, and attack the thief army behind Hao Xiaode's army in a roundabout way, not giving them the opportunity to assist Hao Xiaode in attacking the Sui army's camp, and in turn hit the enemy's morale, and at the same time decisively ordered the army to stop rotation, regardless of whether the first-line and second-line troops were tired or not, they would all move forward with all their might, desperately resisting the impact of the Zhai and Li coalition forces - although doing so would definitely lead to the expansion of casualties, But it was much better than letting the Zhai and Li coalition forces fight in the Sui military camp.

Chen Fuliang's quick decision had an effect, and after stopping the rotation of the army, although the casualties of the Sui army were increased because of this, the Sui soldiers who were crowded together were also resolutely resisted the impact of Hao Xiaode's department, and even though the Hao Xiaode department that took the lead had smashed several sections of the Sui army camp fence, it was still blocked out of the camp by the Sui army soldiers with flesh and blood, and the fierce battle was cruel and entangled.

At this time, the newspaper **** has also come out of the camp from the north gate, and killed the thief army reserve behind Hao Xiaode's army in a roundabout way, and seeing the legendary white-robed cavalry appear, the thief army was also somewhat panicked, and then saw that the feather arrows they released were almost ineffective against the **** soldiers and horses, the thief army reserve was even more panicked, and after being cut in from their flank by the newspaper **, who was good at assault, the thief army reserve had no chance to reinforce Hao Xiaode.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Liu Changgong, who stayed in Luokoucang, took the initiative to send someone to contact Chen Fuliang and asked Chen Fuliang if he needed Luokoucang to send reinforcements? As a result, Chen Fuliang categorically refused, and scolded: "Go back and tell Liu Changgong, without an order, you are not allowed to send a soldier without authorization!" The battlefield is already chaotic, and it is necessary to prevent the Wagang thieves from taking the opportunity to sneak attack Luokoucang! ”

Facts have proved that Chen Fuliang's decision is very correct, on the surface, the Zhai and Li coalition army that is only a feint attack on Luokoucang has indeed been looking for an opportunity to sneak attack Luokoucang, and also sent an army wearing the uniform of the Sui army, taking advantage of the chaos and the cover of night, touching the west gate of Luokoucang, pretending to be the Sui army soldiers who returned from the defeat of the southern camp, and was a little confused Liu Changgong almost opened the door, fortunately, Chen Fuliang's distant cousin Pei Xingfang made meritorious service, and asked the name of the boss and general of the fake Sui army, and screened out the true and false, A burst of arrows were put down on Cangcheng, and only then did they repel the sneak attack of the Zhai and Li coalition forces on Luokoucang.

After defeating the enemy's reserves from the flank, Guo Feng and Chen Ci and other old lackeys ignored the possible expansion of casualties, and led the newspaper **** to directly impact the back of Hao Xiaode's army, the target was still Hao Xiaode's banner, Hao Xiaode divided his troops to block, Li Mi also personally led the army to kill from behind, but the **** soldiers did not stop, and did not hesitate to continue to charge, and fought hard to break through the defense line of Hao Xiaode's army without saying a word, regardless of the risk of casualties, and regardless of the enemy's front and rear pursuit, No turning back was just an impact on Hao Xiaode's banner, and finally forced Hao Xiaode to put down the banner and lead the pro-soldiers to flee for their lives, which affected the morale of the army under Hao Xiaode's command, which completely reversed the situation on the battlefield.

Putting down the flag is equivalent to giving up the command, the thieves of Hao Xiaode's army, who lost the command of the main general, did not dare to charge again, and retreated and fled for their lives, and the Sui army soldiers who were once panicked quickly recaptured the fence position, Li Mi personally led the army to charge and did not receive any effect, seeing that there was no opportunity, Li Mi ordered to retreat with great regret, and retreated with his thief army with hatred. In the dark night, Chen Fuliang did not dare to send troops to pursue, but he learned a lesson and did not dare to let the army relax again, until he repeatedly confirmed that the enemy had retreated across the Shizi River and walked away, and sent people to destroy the pontoon bridge left by the Zhai and Li coalition forces.

After a whole day of fierce fighting with the main force of Wagang, which had strong combat effectiveness, and was played by Li Mi at night, the losses of the Sui army in this battle were of course so heavy and heavy that after the casualties of each army were counted, Chen Fuliang couldn't bear to look at the numbers that were soaked in the blood of the Sui army's soldiers, and he only blamed himself for his carelessness and slackness to underestimate the enemy, otherwise the casualties would not have been so large. Yuan Tiangang, Wei Zheng, Pei Xingfang and others continued to comfort Chen Fuliang, saying that although the casualties of the self-army were large, the casualties on the side of the thief army attacking the frontal attack were destined to be greater, and the self-army did not suffer a loss in this battle.

It's useless to blame himself, after pinching his fingers and calculating the time, Chen Fuliang rekindled some hope, and calculated: "If it goes well, Qian Xiangmin's side will be able to arrive in Guancheng this evening, Guancheng is only eighty miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, if Wang Shichong's side can send troops tomorrow, at the latest the day after tomorrow morning, the thief army will be able to receive the news, the more the thief army fights today, how to rest tomorrow, the morning after tomorrow I received the news that Wang Shichong went north, Li Mi and Zhai Rang have to weigh the consequences of continuing to fight with me." ”

Pinching his fingers and thinking about this, Chen Fuliang couldn't help but wail again, and sighed to the sky: "Qian Xiangmin, you must be angry!" And my father-in-law, you have to give me some face, no matter how many holiday grievances we had before, you are also my father-in-law, you won't watch my son-in-law run out the capital of the start, right? ”

…………

Chen Fuliang still underestimated some of Li Mi's ability to capture fighters, and also underestimated Li Mi's hatred and jealousy of himself, the overall losses of the Zhai and Li coalition forces were indeed greater than those of the Sui army, and the main army was also tired, but after withdrawing to the Tiger Prison Pass, before he had time to rest and sleep, Li Mi immediately found Zhai Rang again, and discussed with Zhai Rang the major matter of continuing to march the army to attack Luokoucang, and proposed to let the army rest for one night, and then send troops to attack Luokoucang again the next day, without giving Chen Fuliang any respite.

Fortunately, Li Mi has this ruthlessness, but Zhai Rang does not have this vicious heart, and just after hearing Li Mi's construction, he complained bitterly: "Wei Gong, you're not joking, are you?" We've all fought so badly today, and you're going to march tomorrow? Even if the generals can bear it, the soldiers can't stand it? Can't you let the soldiers rest for a few days? ”

"I can't rest, and I can't Chen Yingliang's traitor have a chance to breathe." Li Mi shook his head, and Yan said: "Our army is very tired, but we can use guò to reward the soldiers to boost morale and encourage the soldiers, as long as we persist and continue to march tomorrow, Chen Yingliang's traitors will not have time to repair the camp defense, treat the wounded soldiers, and the casualties will be further expanded when fighting us, and we will eventually be consumed alive, but if we relax and give Chen Yingliang a chance to breathe, and then try to break him, we will pay a price of several times or even ten times." So we can't rest, we can only continue to march and keep attacking! ”

Although Li Mi's opinion is correct, Zhai Rang still refuses to listen, and is more worried that his capital will be cheaper than others, so Zhai Rang still shook his head resolutely, Li Mi was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Dongjun Gong, otherwise, after entering the army tomorrow, I will be responsible for attacking Chen Yingliang's traitor's camp, you are responsible for escorting me into battle, your army only needs to prevent the official army from sending aid for me, and you don't need your army to participate in the camp battle, this is always okay, right?" ”

Zhai Rang was a little tempted for a while, but when he asked about the time, it was already more than half of the third watch, and Zhai Rang, who was already too tired, still shook his head and said: "Duke Wei, let's rest for a day, let's go back to the army the day after tomorrow, the soldiers are too tired, let them rest for a day, a day, Chen Yingliang traitors can't do anything." The day after tomorrow, we will join forces to march into the army, bring more torches and dry food, and bring more reserves, and fight with him Chen Yingliang and traitors for a day and a night, this will always work, right? If you insist on marching tomorrow, I will send you some second-line troops into battle, which will not play much role and will not be empty? ”

Li Mi refused to persuade again, but Zhai Rang still didn't listen, and finally Li Mi had no choice but to promise to let the army rest for a day, and then start a larger-scale attack, Zhai Rang agreed, and then couldn't wait to say goodbye and go back to rest, Li Mi said goodbye to Zhai Rang. However, when he turned his gaze to the direction of Luokoucang in the west, Li Mi, who had a very keen sixth sense, had a sudden palpitation, and always felt that if he didn't attack tomorrow, he might not have a chance to seize Chen Fuliang's current weakness and force Chen Fuliang to confront him.

Worried, Li Mi even had such a thought, and said secretly: "Or, tomorrow I will send an army myself to attack Chen Yingliang's traitors?" Even if he can't win, he can entangle Chen Yingliang and the traitor and not give him a chance to rest in peace. ”

…………

Li Mi's sixth sense is right, although it is a little later than Chen Fuliang estimated, but almost at the same time when Li Mi's heart palpitated, our Qian Xiangmin Qian joined the army ......, oh no, now it should be honored as Qian Xiangmin Qian Confessor, in short, our Lord Qian under the escort of four Sui army masters, has taken the mountain path to the vicinity of Xingyang County Administrative City, in the case of a flash flood washed away the road and delayed for some time, Qian Xiangmin also tried his best to be very loyal, in order to buy Chen Fuliang time to walk overnight with torches, And when he was still ten miles away from Guancheng, he had already encountered the patrol scout of Wang Shichong's army, and officially got in touch with Wang Shichong's army.

After revealing his identity to Wang Shichong's army scout, Qian Xiangmin was immediately led to the camp arranged by Wang Shichong outside Guancheng City, and immediately met Wang Shichong's army general on duty. As a result, Qian Xiangmin was very surprised that the night general of Wang Shichong's army was still the famous Sui army general Fei Qingnu, Qian Xiangmin hurriedly asked why Fei Qingnu, who was not subordinate to Wang Shichong, was here? As a result, Fei Qingnu replied with a wry smile: "I suppressed the thieves in Jibei County, Taishou Kaicheng surrendered to the thief army, homeless, Zhang Dashuai was martyred, Pei Renji surrendered, and Yang Taifu was recalled by His Majesty to serve in the court, I couldn't even find a person who asked for orders, so I had to take the remnants south to Liang County to join Yang Tongshou, and then I met Wang Liushou and was brought here by him." ”

Hearing Fei Qingnu's words, Qian Xiangmin couldn't help but shake his head and sigh about the declining national fortunes of the Great Sui, and then asked about the current situation of Wang Shichong's army, and learned that Wang Shichong's army was as he expected, and he was indeed very short of grain and grass, and he didn't get a few stones of grain in the already broken Guancheng, Qian Xiangmin was immediately overjoyed, and quickly told Fei Qingnu and others the amount of reward that Yang Tong, the king of Yue, was ready to give to Wang Shichong's army. When he went to the bank of the Yellow River to supply grain and grass by water, Fei Qingnu also hurriedly said: "Great, Qian Zhi, I will immediately send someone to report to the king to stay behind, and ask him to see you overnight." ”

"Good ......." Qian Xiangmin swallowed back into his stomach when he said the words on his lips, blinking his treacherous little eyes, Qian Xiangmin, who had already grown a little, changed his mouth and said: "General Fei, there is no need to be in such a hurry, the night is too deep, anyway, it is not a hurry, there is no need to ask Wang to stay and get up to meet me overnight, I am also a little tired, I will rest for half a night, and it will not be too late for me to go to see Wang Liushou tomorrow morning." ”

Fei Qingnu did not doubt him, immediately nodded and agreed, and also arranged for someone to bring money to Xiangmin and his entourage to rest, and after Qian Xiangmin, who was hungry and tired, entered the sleeping tent, not only did not rest, but also ordered the entourage guards to help him bathe and change clothes, and at the same time prepare his own court official clothes, and specially explained that he must wake himself up at the right time. The entourage asked Qian Xiangmin why he worked so hard, and Qian Xiangmin replied: "Stupid, of course, it is a big fanfare to let Wang Shichong's soldiers know that I am coming, and let them know what I am doing, otherwise, Wang Shichong coaxed me into the Chinese military tent to read out the decree of Yue Wang Jun, and then blocked the news, how can we complete the mission that Chen Liushou explained?" ”

Qian Xiangmin rarely used his brains to serve with his heart, but he was also quite diligent and conscientious, the next day just arrived, Qian Xiangmin, who had only slept for an hour, struggled out of the quilt, changed into the official uniform of the Great Sui of the sixth grade, and then led the entourage to go straight to the back camp of Wang Shichong's army, during which Qian Xiangmin, who was wearing official uniforms, naturally attracted the attention of many Sui army soldiers, and some generals came up to ask Qian Xiangmin's identity and origin, Qian Xiangmin was not afraid of wasting saliva, while explaining that he was ordered by Yang Dong to come to pass the edict and reward, While taking the trouble to spread Yang Dong's reward in detail, the soldiers of the Sui army who heard these situations were all overjoyed, and some people cheered directly.

In this way, under the pretext that he wanted to go to the room to receive dinner, Qian Xiangmin swaggered all the way to the back camp, and also caught up with the representatives of the battalions of the Sui army to receive breakfast as he wished. Then Qian Xiangmin immediately shouted and screamed, deliberately attracting everyone's attention, and at the same time pretending to ask Wang Shichongjun why the food was so poor? How long has it been since you ate such pig and dog food?

As a result, when Wang Shichong, who received the news, hurriedly sent someone to find Qian Xiangmin to meet him, our Qian confessor was already surrounded by Sui soldiers on the inner and outer three floors, and they were all excited and excited to listen to Qian Zhi's speech............

"Soldiers! Soldiers of the Great Sui! You don't have to be anxious, and you don't have to worry about grain and grass, His Royal Highness the King of Yue has issued a decree to reward you with 50,000 stone of grain, 500 fat pigs, 500 fat sheep, 500 vegetable horses eliminated from the army, 500 jars of good wine, 30,000 pieces of money, and 30,000 horses of silk! His Royal Highness the King of Yue also specially explained that as long as you get in touch with us by water, we will immediately dispatch official ships to bring you these rewards! Let you be well fed and well-fed! Have the strength to kill thieves to serve the country, and make meritorious contributions to counterinsurgency! When you get back the Tiger Prison Pass, His Royal Highness King Yue will still reward you! ”

"Damn, why don't you send troops?" Nibbling on the bitter and unpalatable wild vegetable dumplings, the soldiers of the Sui army were all on fire, and said secretly: "Why didn't the king stay behind and give the order to enter the army?" It's only seventy or eighty miles from the Yellow River, where are we going? Wouldn't you just have to nibble on wild vegetable dumplings every day? ”

As a result, when Wang Shichong, who received the news, hurriedly sent someone to find Qian Xiangmin to meet him, our Qian confessor was already surrounded by Sui soldiers on the inner and outer three floors, and they were all excited and excited to listen to Qian Zhi's speech............
