Chapter 3 The Great Army Besieges the Camp
Hangu Pass, Li Shimin's mansion.
"Your Highness" Li Jing hurriedly walked in, with an anxious look on his face.
"Oh, it's the pharmacist, what's wrong?" Today's Li Shimin is not in a hurry at all, this Li Mi's 200,000 troops, and Wang Shichong will have to fight for a while to determine the victory or defeat, there is a Dugu valve in it, Li Shimin can accurately grasp the timing of sending troops, therefore, these days have not been in a hurry.
Although there is a shortage of arms now, it is not a good thing, Li Jiancheng is obviously much less vigilant against him, and the contradiction with Li Yuanji has gradually escalated, if it was in the past, if Li Shimin had not moved here, I am afraid that Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng would have begun to slander behind their backs.
"The situation has changed somewhat" Li Jing said in a deep voice: "The people we arranged around Li Mi sent a message, just last night, Lu Bu's army fell from the sky and broke through the Tiger Prison Pass in one fell swoop.
"Lu Bu? Why is he here? Didn't his army gather at Jingling? Li Shimin frowned and asked, hearing Lu Bu's name, but a cold glint flashed involuntarily in his eyes.
"According to the last general, Jingling's army is just a cover-up, and now Lu Bu's new land of Jingxiang needs to be garrisoned everywhere, and the troops that can be drawn out are limited, Jingling's army is just a trick, and the army that appeared in the Tiger Prison Pass is the real main force this time" Li Jing said in a deep voice.
"Heh, I didn't expect Lu Bu to dare to come here?" Li Shimin sneered: "This time, I will let him come and go."
"Your Highness, will we send troops immediately?" Li Jing said when he heard this.
"No, don't be in a hurry, tell Dugu Valve the news of the capture of Tiger Prison Pass, let them reveal it to Wang Shichong, and force Li Mi into a desperate situation" Li Shimin said in a deep voice, Wang Shichong and Li Mi can be said to have reached the point of not dying, if Wang Shichong knows, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
"Your Highness wants to ......"
"Surrender Li Mi" Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a look of excitement, Li Mi can now be said to be at the end of the road, as long as he is forced into a desperate situation, it is not difficult to surrender, although Li Mi lost this time, but his ability is obvious to all, Li Shimin will naturally not let go of this opportunity, if he can get Li Mi and the 200,000 troops under him, this time to besiege Lu Bu, there will be greater certainty.
"Yes" Li Jing was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and took the order, leaving Li Shimin alone in the room, the candlelight that was flickering and extinguishing made Li Shimin's face a little blurry, and he slowly stroked the sword on the table with one arm, and a deep murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The news was quickly spread to Wang Shichong's ears, for Li Mi, Wang Shichong can be said to hate to the bone, after learning the news, he immediately sent troops, but Li Mi set up an ambush in advance, and the chasing soldiers were beaten down, but even so, the news that Li Mi was going to withdraw from the army was also known to Wang Shichong.
Immediately ordered the veteran Yang Gongqing to lead 100,000 troops, step by step, to pursue Li Mi.
Li Mi has a Xiongguan in front of him, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, there is not much grain and grass left in the army, the army is disheartened, and has been forced into a desperate situation, although there are more than 100,000 troops in hand, but he can't break through the tiger prison pass of the world's first Xiongguan, and then he can't repel Yang Gongqing's pursuers.
Although Yang Gongqing is not as talented as Li Mi, he is not an easy person, he knows that Li Mi has little food and grass, and he is steady and steady, step by step, and there are two thousand blood wolves led by Lu Bu to harass from the side, forcing Li Mi to be anxious, almost desperate.
At this time, Li Mi's army, but came an unexpected guest, Qin King Li Shimin, actually came to Li Mi's mansion, the two talked all night in the handsome tent, no one knows what the two talked about, but the next day, Li Mi swore an oath in the army, officially put into Li Tang's command, at the same time, the army also began to lean in the direction of Hangu Pass, Yang Gongqing wanted to block, but was pressed by Li Mi to fight a fight, helpless to retreat to Luoyang, Lu Bu only 2,000 people, difficult to govern alone, for a time, can only temporarily camp.
"Li Mi has taken refuge in Li Tang?" Lu Bu frowned deeply, and looked at the way of the void line: "Okay, what do you think?" ”
"Li Mi took refuge in Li Tang, and there will be no worries about food and grass, but the Tiger Prison Pass is a powerful checkpoint for attacking Luoyang, but our army cannot give up, and Li Tang has Li Mi's help, and his strength will inevitably increase greatly, in order to prevent Li Shimin from capturing Luoyang, our army must join forces with Wang Shichong to have a chance to block Li Valve's attack" Xuxing muttered: "It's just that Luoyang Dugu Valve's attitude is ambiguous, and his subordinates suspect that Dugu Valve has already taken refuge in Li Shimin's side, which is quite unfavorable to our army"
"Lord Wang, the big thing is not good, General Li Tang Qu Tu led the troops to block the retreat of our army, and now he is scolding outside the camp" Li Dayong hurriedly came and said sharply.
"Qu Tu?" Xu Xingzhi was stunned, and then looked at Lu Budao: "This person was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty, and he was a great soldier in Yang Jian and Yang Guang. Yang Guangnan toured the capital of the river and entrusted him with the important task of guarding the capital Chang'an. After Li Yuan raised his troops to attack Chang'an, Qu Tutong led his subordinates to fight to the death, and after exhausting his strength, he attempted suicide, and finally surrendered to Li Yuan, and was named the secretary of the military department, which should not be taken lightly. ”
Lu Bu nodded, looked at Li Dayong and said, "How many people did he bring?" ”
"There are 30,000 people" Li Dayong said in a deep voice, now there are only 2,000 cavalry around Lu Bu, but the other party has sent 30,000 troops, which is enough to show that Li Shimin values Lu Bu.
"Is Li Shimin crazy? At this time, shouldn't you attack Luoyang first? Lu Bu looked at the void and wondered.
"What the lord said is good, but if Dugu is really a member of the Li family, then it's another matter, Li Shimin's approach will make Wang Shichong give birth to a false impression, Li Shimin is for the sake of the communiqué personal vendetta, he will relax his vigilance, sit back and watch our two families attack each other, if I am Li Shimin, it will make the Dugu family suddenly have civil strife at this time, and a strange soldier suddenly appears, it will be able to break through the 30,000 army in Luoyang, for Li Shimin today, it will not affect its combat power at all" The deep voice of the void line.
"Okay, let's go out with me." Lu Bu sneered, and took Xu Xingzhi, Jiang Lang, Duan Chao and others to the camp, only to see that at this time, the soldiers and horses of the two sides were facing each other, arrows and arrows were facing each other, and the blood-red Li character banner was fluttering in the wind with teeth and claws.
"It's really an eyesore" Lu Bu waved his hand, and a general hurriedly handed the longbow on his back to Lu Bu, Lu Bu casually put on a wolf's tooth arrow, exhaled and made a sound, and the sharp arrow cluster rubbed against the air, like a meteor flashing in the sky.
"Boom~" The arrow hit the flagpole, and it made an explosive sound, and then, the flagpole, which was the thickness of an adult's thigh, clicked, broke away, and smashed more than a dozen Li Tang soldiers who couldn't dodge into meat sauce.
"Dare Lu Bu, dare to destroy my banner" In the crowd, a general in black armor held a long knife, pointed at Lu Bu from afar, and shouted.
"You're Qu Tu?" Lu Bu looked down at the general condescendingly and said coldly.
"Yes, it's Ben General," Qu Tu shouted.
"Okay, within a quarter of an hour, give me your men and horses, get out of my sight, otherwise, the blood wolf army will pass by, and there will be no armor left" Lu Bu looked at Qu Tu, and the cold voice spread throughout the entire military array, behind Lu Bu, the blood of the two thousand blood wolf riders boiled one by one, and they all let out an angry roar, and the Li Tang soldiers under the gate of the fortress were frightened by Lu Bu's arrow just now, and their faces turned pale.
"Joke" Qu Tu laughed angrily, there are 30,000 troops on his side, and the other party is only 2,000 people, even if Lu Bu is brave at that time, but the gap between the two sides is fifteen times, how can it be so easy to fill? Moreover, he has fought countless battles with a sudden voice, how can he be compared to those mediocre generals?
"Hmph" Lu Bu didn't answer, he bent his bow and took the arrow again, and pointed an arrow at Qu Tu, the arrow cluster seemed to completely envelop the space around Qu Tu, and Qu Tu actually had a feeling that he couldn't dodge, and wanted to dodge, but he didn't know how to dodge.
"Poof~" "Boom~"
A gas explosion sounded, the arrow directly submerged into the disclosure of Qu Tu's war horse, the air explosion broke out in the horse's neck, the entire horse's head and the horse's neck were blown into countless minced meat, Qu Tu was embarrassed by the aftermath of the shock to get off the horse, the body rolled on the ground doubled, before standing up, looking back, only to feel that the scalp was numb, the first half of the horse's body had disappeared, and the remaining back half of the body, the horse's legs were still twitching, and the arrow was going to shoot at himself......
Lu Bu looked down at Qu Tu and sneered: "This king kills you, like slaughtering chickens and killing dogs, and retreat quickly, otherwise, Hugh blames this king for being ruthless, and in this battle, this king will not accept prisoners."
Looking at the back of Lu Bu leaving, Qu Tu only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and when he looked back, the army of 30,000 was shot by Lu Bu's earth-shattering two arrows, and he lost his soul, and there was no previous momentum, and he didn't take prisoners Thinking of Lu Bu's cold and ruthless language, Qu Tu felt a chill, but now that he has a life, how can he be allowed to retreat?
Time passed minute by minute, a quarter of an hour passed quickly, but the Tang army outside the camp did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and Lu Bu also knew that it was impossible to want 30,000 troops to retreat because of his words.
"Get on the horse, open the door" A flash of murderous intent flashed in Lu Bu's eyes, since you are looking for death, don't blame me for being ruthless
The divine ghost Fang Tianhalberd was raised high, and Lu Busen said: "Zhujun Erlang, the Tang army in front is ten times my size, now, this king is going out, kill them without leaving a piece of armor, do you dare to go together?" ”
"Kill, kill, kill" two thousand blood wolf riders, one by one they have been waiting impatiently, hearing this, they frantically waved the blade in their hands, shouting loudly, the blood wolf rider is the elite of the elite under Lu Bu, all 60-level troops, each of them has the strength of no less than a third-rate martial artist, and has followed Lu Bu to fight for many years, after countless killings, his loyalty to Lu Bu has long been integrated into his bones, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of him, it is impossible to frown.
"Okay" Lu Bu shouted: "Kill the piece of armor with me, and leave it behind"
