Chapter 11: The Rupture
"Kill~"
In the midst of the shouts and killings in the sky, the Tang army and the Wagang army fought selflessly in the Tang army camp.
Among the Tang army, there are only less than 20,000 men and horses who really belong to the Tang army, while Li Mi's Wagang army has 150,000.
Although they all wore the same Tang Army uniforms, they were divided into two camps and fought wildly with each other.
"Mi Gong, the matter has come to this point, even if we defeat Hangu Pass and Luoyang afterwards, Li Tang may not be able to appreciate it" Wang Bodang shot seven Tang army generals in a row, and quickly rushed to Li Mi's side, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, in today's form, even if we stop, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin will not let us go, they are Li Tang Chongchen, and their connections in Chang'an are far deeper than ours. Even if Mi Gong is willing to give up his military power at that time, how can he compete with Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin? Zu Junyan on the side also echoed and said.
Although Li Mi's current situation is difficult, it is not without opportunities, outside the Tiger Prison Pass, there is still a lot of territory, Xingyang is still there, the foundation has not been lost, as long as he can successfully get out of the Tiger Prison Pass, he may not lose
Li Mi was silent, a flash of struggle flashed in his eyes, no one knows the situation of the Wagang Army better than him, the siege of Luoyang is his last chance to turn the tables, the 200,000 troops brought by him are also all the horses that the Wagang Army can mobilize now, once these Wagang troops are lost, even if he escapes from the Tiger Prison Pass, without these 200,000 troops, sooner or later he will be swallowed up by Lu Bu or Kou Zhong.
But today's events have made him completely break with the Tang army, Zu Junyan and Wang Bodang are right, even if he is willing to give up his military power, he will not meet Li Tang, who was an official in the same dynasty as Li Yuan in the past, and no one knows Li Yuan's means better than him.
After a long silence, a deep murderous intent flashed in Li Mi's eyes, looking at the chaotic battlefield ahead, and said in a soft voice: "Bodang, Jun Yan, immediately command the army to encircle, and you are not allowed to miss a single one."
"Yes" Wang Bodang and Zu Junyan's eyes flashed with joy, and nodded fiercely, under Li Mi's dispatch, the Tang Army, which was already at a disadvantage, was under great pressure, and the Wagang Army dispatched by Li Mi in the center seemed to be reborn, quickly dividing and surrounding the remnants of the Tang Army, with sharp arrows and flickering swords and guns, constantly harvesting the lives of the Tang Army.
Qin Shubao Yunwen Yunwu is also a rare handsome talent, but compared with Li Mi, it is obviously a little worse, under the command of Li Mi, even if Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde help from the side, it is difficult to take the slightest advantage, and the gap between the strength of the Tang Army and the Wagang Army is too big.
"Shubao, let's go, I'll break the back" Cheng bit Jin and split the head of a Wagang army with an axe, and roared sharply, even if it was him, now he can see that the Tang army is over, and he can only ask Qin Shubao and others to successfully break through and return to Chang'an.
This time, the Tang army really lost 80,000 horses, not counting the 30,000 troops of Qu Tu that Lu Bu destroyed, and the fortified fortifications in the past two days also made them lose a lot, but these are only the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass, Li Tang still has 150,000 troops in Chang'an, and Taiyuan and Youzhou also have a large number of men and horses stationed, the loss of these 80,000 horses is not a broken muscle, but he thought that he did not die in the hands of the enemy, but died in the civil strife, and he felt extremely aggrieved in his heart.
"Bite the gold, go together" Qin Shubao's hand turned like a wheel, and all the Wagang troops who were close to him were stoned to death, seeing that the general trend had gone, regretting it was useless, and he immediately bit the gold and was about to leave.
"I broke out of the disaster, naturally I will bear it, tell King Qin, bite Jin and go to see him again" At this moment, Cheng Yanjin was very stubborn, and shook his head firmly, at that time, he was just angry for a while, so he privately withheld the grain and grass of the Wagang Army, and made a big mistake today, and he regretted it faintly in his heart.
"Bang~"
A palm shadow appeared, hitting Cheng Yanjin's neck, and Yu Chi Jingde's majestic figure appeared behind Cheng Yanjin, carrying Cheng Yanjin on his shoulder, and snorted coldly: "What are you doing with so many words, let's kill together"
"Hmm" Qin Shubao nodded, taking advantage of the fact that the encirclement of the Wagang army had not yet been fully formed, he quickly broke out with the participating soldiers and horses, and the two of them were like a whirlwind, destroying the remnants of the Tang army.
The shouting and killing in the barracks gradually subsided, looking at the barracks full of corpses, Li Mi sighed helplessly: "What are the losses of our army?" Li Mi turned his head and looked at Wang Bodang.
"It was too sudden, and nearly 30,000 brothers died." Wang Bodang's voice was low, things happened too suddenly, plus Li Mi hesitated at the beginning, but the Tang army was unscrupulous, the Wagang army was a surrender army after all, so when fighting, it was inevitable that some could not be used, until Li Mi began to dispatch, the situation improved, but even so, more than 30,000 people died.
"What about Tang Jun?" Li Mi asked.
"The whole army was wiped out, only Qin Shubao and others rushed out with dozens of people, do you want to send someone to pursue?" Zu Junyan said in a low voice.
Li Mi silently, 30,000 horses, plus Li Tang's 20,000 horses, and the losses in the past few days, the original mighty army of 200,000 people, a civil strife, almost halved by half, now, Li Mi has no confidence to capture Hangu Pass again, the siege weapons in the chaos just now, many of them were destroyed, without siege equipment, how could the Hangu Pass guarded by the 30,000 blood wolf army be so easy to capture?
"No need, we don't have this time, and ......" glanced at the direction of Qin Shubao and the others to break through, and sneered: "Lu Bu will definitely not let them go, while there is still some food and grass, prepare to break through." ”
"Yes" Wang Bodang and Zu Junyan bowed and said, although nearly half of the people died, but the grain and grass can only last for two days at most, it is good, if you can't leave in these two days, the remaining 120,000 troops may not last long before they disperse.
"Yique Pass is still in our hands, right?" Li Mi asked.
"Well, that's good, but there are Wang Shichong's men and horses defending this side of Yique Pass, and the road is rugged, so it's difficult to walk." Wang Bodang nodded.
"No matter, take the method of Yique Pass, pass the order, distribute all the grain and grass to the hands of the soldiers, put aside all the baggage, and retreat to Yique Pass" Li Mi shook his head, what he wants to think about now is not how to break through Luoyang, but how to keep the last strength in his hands.
"Boom~"
It's just that Li Mi's order has just been conveyed, and a thunderous iron ascension has sounded, Li Mi's face has changed, Wang Bodang and Zu Junyan's faces have also changed, and the faces of all Wagang troops have changed at this moment.
Cavalry, a huge cavalry, appeared outside the Tang Army, after the fight just now, the Tang Army's camp has almost become a void, the door of the village is open, far away, you can see a cavalry is rushing towards this side at a rapid pace, as the first general, white horse and silver spear, cold face, it is Luo Cheng, followed by him, is two thousand blood wolf army, and then behind, but dense, at a glance can not see the edge of the cavalry.
Where did this cavalry division come from?
In everyone's hearts, they couldn't help but have such doubts, but they didn't have time to think anymore, Li Mi's eyes sank, Lu Bu was going to force himself to a dead end
The Wagang army camp began to stir, and the soldiers standing in the front row began to look around in horror, and the timid ones had begun to retreat, the cavalry was not an ordinary cavalry, under the leadership of Luo Cheng and the blood wolf cavalry, the solemn momentum like a flash flood made countless soldiers feel timid in their hearts.
The cavalry in the front row had already suppressed the cavalry spears pointing diagonally at the sky, and hundreds of sharp cavalry spears formed a dense forest of death, and the cold killing machines gathered together, constantly destroying the bottom line that the Wagang army could bear.
"Forming a formation to resist the enemy" Li Mi shouted vigorously and roared angrily, the Tang Army's military camp chose an open and flat area, this kind of place, when the infantry encountered the cavalry, only by lining up in a dense formation and fighting to the death could there be a glimmer of life.
The reason why Lu Bu was able to break Qu Tu's 30,000 army with 2,000 that day was of course Lu Bu's brave elements in it, but more was Lu Bu's terrifying insight into the flaws in the battle formation, and Qu Tu was too confident in his formation, as everyone knows, manpower will eventually be exhausted, where is there a flawed formation, for ordinary opponents, the effect of using the formation is really good, but in the face of Lu Bu, who is an expert in leading troops, those formations are a little lacking.
At that time, Lu Bu relied on the strength of one person, with hundreds of bandits, and broke out of the encirclement of Yu Culture and tens of thousands of troops.
Under Li Mi's command, although the Wagang army was afraid, they quickly gathered together, forming a dense defensive line to meet Luo Cheng's troops.
"Hmph, I'm Li Mi, it's not the same method as Qu Tu, but on me, it's ineffective" A cold glint flashed in Li Mi's eyes, and he shouted: "Vertical shield"
Almost a colleague, Luo Cheng led the cavalry, facing the camp of the Wagang army, it was a round of cavalry shooting, but unfortunately, Li Mi had already prepared, and at the same time as the arrows flew out, the Wagang army had already raised the shield, and Luo Cheng's cavalry shooting did not bring the expected effect.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
In the dense sound of breaking the air, the Wagang army in the rear suddenly fell
"What?" Li Mi suddenly turned around, and saw that Lu Bu was leading the blood wolf army, and at some point, he had already rushed to the rear camp with the sky-high power created by Luo Cheng, and the impact of Luo Cheng's cavalry was too great, plus Li Mi had just fought with the Tang army, and it took a lot of effort to make Li Mi ignore the defense of the rear for a while.
