At this time, I heard a loud bang, and countless rubble slammed into the sky, making the sky dark. The Wagang army, which was rushing forward, was hit by a sudden blow, and the team was immediately in chaos. The Wagang Army, which they had originally joined for the sake of making ends meet, had neither superb martial arts nor strict training, and when they were hit by such a sudden blow, they turned around and ran away. The scuffle that Li Mi expected was naturally over.

But the Han army's long-range offensive did not end there, and the crossbowmen, who had been standing still, finally found an opportunity, and the arrows rained down, constantly harvesting the lives of the Wagang rout. And the Modao Army, which was the main force just now, also gave way to a road, and tens of thousands of Han infantry rushed forward brandishing horizontal swords.

Seeing that the situation on the battlefield had taken a sharp turn for the worse, Li Mi sighed and had no choice but to turn his horse and go south. The Han army brigade chased and killed along the road, rushed out for more than 20 miles, and got closer and closer to Li Mi's handsome banner, and suddenly heard a shout, and rushed out of the mountain cols on both sides, and surrounded the Han army's pursuers.

It turned out that there were only 300,000 Wagang troops attacking Lingchang City, and another 200,000 troops set up an ambush on Luomapo, 20 miles south of Lingchang. This Li Mi also made a two-handed plan, if 300,000 people can defeat the Han army and capture Lingchang City, it will be the best. If he loses the battle, this is the one he kills from defeat to victory. Although the Han army knew that there were 500,000 horses in Wagangzhai, there was a banner outside the city, and there was really not much difference between 300,000 and 500,000 people, and this siege force was defeated and retreated very realistically, so people couldn't imagine that there would be an ambush.

Looking at the tens of thousands of Han troops who were encircled, Li Mi stroked his long beard under his chin and couldn't help laughing. At that time, he used the tactics of ambush to defeat the famous Sui general Zhang Xutuo in one fell swoop, which made Wagangzhai very popular. Although Liu Ziqiu was not able to be surrounded this time, as long as the 50,000 Han army pursuers were completely annihilated, Liu Ziqiu could still be injured, after all, the total number of Han troops was limited.

However, the Han army was not comparable to the Sui army, and although the 50,000 Han army pursuers were encircled, they did not see the slightest panic, and quickly formed a formation and fought fiercely with the Wagang army, without falling behind.

Li Mi frowned, and was about to give the order to beat the drum, when he saw a flash of fire in the Han army's array, and a brilliant firework bloomed in midair. Li Mi had never seen fireworks, so he couldn't help but wonder: "What is this?" ”

Shan Xiongxin also didn't know why, and muttered: "Lord Wang, isn't this a signal for them to ask for help?" ”

Li Mi nodded and sneered: "Hmph! The fat to his mouth will not let him run away! Roshixin listens to orders! ”

Luo Shixin hurriedly came out of the crowd, crossed his hands and said: "The end will be!" ”

Li Mi glanced at him and said, "Luo Shixin, Lone will give you 5,000 cavalry and 50,000 foot soldiers to block Liu Ziqiu's reinforcements." If there are no reinforcements within three hours, you will be counted as your first merit! ”

Luo Shixin promised, hurriedly ordered the people, but muttered in his heart. He already knew the news of Qin Shubao and Wang Bodang's defeat, but until today's battle, he has never seen the Han cavalry, which is very abnormal. Of course, the clever Roesson was well aware of his current situation. As Zhang Xutuo's old subordinate and the general of the Great Sui, he didn't think that his words could attract Li Mi's attention. Since it was impossible to attract Li Mi's attention, Luo Shixin was reluctant to say more, and led his troops and horses to the north.

The battlefield was still stalemate, and the besieged Han army did not stick to wait for reinforcements, on the contrary, it was more brave than the Wagang army, and even organized many counterattacks, repeatedly disrupting the position of the Wagang army.

Li Mi's brows furrowed even tighter, if he wanted to break the deadlock, someone had to come out as the vanguard and tear through the defense line of the Han army, and the generals around him were only Shan Xiongxin who could be used.

Shan Xiongxin also seemed to know Li Mi's thoughts, and he was about to move forward as soon as he lifted the reins, but he heard a shout from the rear army. When Shan Xiongxin turned his head to look, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and said repeatedly: "Lord Wang, look over there!" ”

Li Mi looked back and saw smoke and dust billowing and the earth seemed to tremble, but countless cavalry swept in. The speed of the Han cavalry came quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it tore a big hole in the encirclement of the Wagang army, and the offensive that the Wagang army had just organized collapsed again.

Shan Xiongxin pulled Li Mi's reins and said loudly: "Lord Wang, go quickly!" ”

Li Mi looked at the Han cavalry that was getting closer and closer, gritted his teeth, and walked away, and it seemed that an ambush he had designed could only end in failure.

……

From here, twenty miles to the southeast is Li Mi's base Wagang Village, and from a distance, he has seen the big flag fluttering on the head of the Wagang Walled City, Li Mi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, shook his horse whip fiercely, and rode his horse towards the city. Zhai Rang has been operating in Wagangzhai for many years, and has long built a small city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Shan Xiongxin escorted Li Mi to the city and shouted at the city: "The prince is back, open the city gate quickly!" ”

There was a burst of laughter at the head of the city, and the city, which was only a few people just now, was suddenly full of soldiers, swords and guns, and the big flag of Wagangzhai was also thrown down and replaced with a big flag with black sè Chinese characters. One of its generals pressed the horizontal knife in his hand and shouted: "Li Mi, a certain Han general Gui Haiqiu, on the orders of His Majesty, has already taken this city, why don't you surrender early!" ”

Li Mi was furious and ordered the siege of the city. The arrows and stones on the city are like rain, and the remnants of Wagang are difficult to advance an inch.

Shan Xiongxin saw that the situation was not good, and persuaded him repeatedly: "Lord, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's retreat to Kuangcheng quickly." ”

Kuangcheng is thirty miles south of Wagang, and it is a small county town about the same size as Lingchang, but Kuangcheng has 30,000 defenders, which is not a small force for the current Li.

"Let's go!" Li Mi hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up his plan to recover Wagangzhai.

However, the remnants of the army led by him did not travel for many miles, and a drum sounded on the side of the road, and a group of cavalry was killed in the oblique stab, and the first general shouted loudly: "The Han general Wen Hao is here, and Li Mi has not quickly dismounted and surrendered!" ”

"Lord Wang, let's go!" Shan Xiongxin whipped Li Mi's war horse, held up the lance, stepped forward, and fought with Wen Hao.

The two horses intersected, and the two fought for more than ten rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. Wen Hao sold a flaw and put a lance to stab Shan Xiongxin, but he lightly stretched his ape arm, clamped the lance, and slashed the big knife against the lance to Shan Xiongxin's fingers. Shan Xiongxin gave up the lance, pulled out the sword at his waist with his backhand, and stabbed it straight at Wen Hao's chest. This sword was given by Li Mi, cutting iron like clay, cutting gold and breaking jade, Shan Xiongxin wanted to use the edge of the sword to frustrate Wen Hao's sharpness.

Wen Hao grabbed the long lance, and easily used the lance to meet the sword. Only to hear the sound of "whoosh", the sword lance intersected, and the long lance was cut in half on the spot. Wen Hao was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said, "Good sword!" I want to see if your sword is fast or my sword is fast! ”

The immediate confrontation is not as good as hand-to-hand combat, although the sword is fast, it is too short after all, and Shan Xiongxin, who has lost his long lance, will soon fall into disadvantage. Although he swung the sword desperately, he couldn't help Wen Hao's big sword, but on the contrary, the edge of the sword rolled in several places, which made Shan Xiong's confidence hurt.

In front of the two armies, how can you be distracted! Just when Shan Xiong was confident that he was hurting the sword, Wen Hao suddenly shouted, and the long knife picked up half a circle and slashed it head. Shan Xiongxin hurriedly raised his sword to greet him. With a "dang" sound, the fire burst out, and the sword broke in two. Wen Hao's long knife was castrated, and it was slashing at Shan Xiongxin's right shoulder, a few inches deep. Shan Xiongxin screamed, turned over and fell off the horse. Wen Hao refused to forgive, and slashed again, and actually took Shan Xiongxin's head.

As soon as Shan Xiongxin died, the remnants of the Wagang army were leaderless, and they suddenly collapsed, and the dead died, and the surrendered fell.

When Wen Hao looked at it again, he had already lost the trace of Li Mi, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but say hatefully: "Hmph, even if you run fast!" However, don't be too happy, even if you escape to Kuangcheng, you are not a turtle in an urn! ”

……

Not to mention that Wen Hao won a complete victory outside Wagang Village, but said that Luo Shixin led more than 50,000 horses to the north to block the reinforcements of the Han army. As long as you put down your weapons, I will not be to blame! ”

Luo Shixin was originally a Sui general, and he had no family members in the hands of Li Mi, so he couldn't help but be a little hesitant after listening to Liu Ziqiu's words.

At this time, a general beside Liu Ziqiu galloped out and said loudly: "Brother Shixin, listen to Qin's persuasion, come down!" ”

When Luo Shixin saw the man, he couldn't help but be taken aback: "Shubao, you have already descended to the Great Han!" What about Bodang? ”

Qin Shubao's face was a little ugly: "Bodang is stubborn and has been executed by His Majesty." The general trend is the same, and the Shixin brothers should make mistakes! ”

Luo Shixin was silent for a while and said: "The overall situation is undecided, is it too early to talk about victory or defeat now." ”

Qin Shubao shook his head and smiled: "How can Li Mi's little tricks be hidden from Your Majesty? At this moment, I am afraid that Wagangzhai is already in the hands of His Majesty. If you don't believe it, you look back. ”

When Luo Shixin looked back, he saw that the Wagang formation that originally surrounded the pursuing soldiers of the Han army had been in chaos, and Li Mi's plot had obviously failed completely, so he couldn't help but bow his head.

Seeing this, Liu Ziqiu also stepped forward and said with a smile: "General Luo, are you still worried about anything?" As long as you lead the crowd to surrender, I will ensure your glory and wealth. ”

Luo Shixin looked around and frowned: "Then these brothers under Luo Mou ......"

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "I will forgive them for their innocence, and I will also allocate them fields and houses." ”

Luo Shixin sighed, suddenly discarded the lance in his hand, dismounted, and fell to the ground.

Liu Ziqiu was overjoyed and said: "General Luo can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and I have one more strong help!" ”

As he was talking, he saw more than a dozen cavalry galloping over, and the first one rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt down in front of Liu Ziqiu, and said loudly: "The last general is not effective in stopping Li Mi, and he was escaped by that guy, please punish Your Majesty!" ”
