The envoy shouted under the city for a day, but there was no response in Chang'an City.

On the second day, Li Yuan ordered his soldiers to step up the cutting down of trees and build enough siege equipment, and on the other hand, he sent envoys to continue to promote his political position outside the various gates of Chang'an City.

Besieged by more than 200,000 troops, everyone in Chang'an City was in danger and panicked, and even the old minister Wei Xuan fell ill because of daily fear.

Not to mention Yang Yun, the acting king in the palace, he is only thirteen years old, which should be the age to have fun, but he is forced to face the situation of the country being ruined.

In the huge palace, Concubine Wei looked at Yang Yu and wanted to cry: "Son, I'm afraid I can't pass this level." ”

Yang Yu sat on the couch: ".... Mother..... I'm scared ....."

Hearing this, Concubine Wei's tears could no longer be held back, and they flowed down.

She didn't care about the etiquette rules, hugged Yang Yun, and cried bitterly.

-------

The situation in Chang'an, Xijing, is becoming increasingly severe, and a major war is about to break out.

And the war in the eastern capital of Luoyang has broken out.

"When Yang Guang arrives at the barracks, he will definitely appease the soldiers first, stabilize the morale of the army, and will not launch an attack so quickly.

"Therefore, we must take advantage of the previous momentum, and launch a surprise attack as quickly as possible when the Sui army has not yet laid out, which can severely damage their morale.

"In the end, take advantage of the situation to pursue and storm Luoyang, and you will definitely be able to take Luoyang."

Li Mi led an army of 300,000 to cross Luoshui at night according to the plan made, preparing to attack Wang Shichong's camp.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he crossed Luoshui, he encountered an ambush and lost thousands of people at once, and Li Mi immediately ordered a retreat.

It was the first victory for the Sui army in months, and although it only killed a few thousand enemy troops, it greatly boosted the confidence and morale of the soldiers.

At the same time, the generals put the credit on Yang Guang, who was sitting in the camp, saying that "because His Majesty was on the battlefield, God blessed the Great Sui and defeated the rebels" and so on.

Yang Guang was very happy to hear it, he felt that this was a turning point, a turning point for him to save the country.

"Since we have won this battle, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue, pass the order, and the army will immediately build a pontoon bridge and cross the Luoshui to attack the Wagang traitors."

After the order was issued, Yang Guang, Wang Shichong and other generals began to discuss the offensive deployment around Yutu.

Originally, the Wagang army was worried after crossing the Luoshui and destroying the pontoon bridge, and now they were even more worried when they saw the Sui army on the other side of the river starting to build the pontoon bridge. But the opposite bank was not within the range of bows and crossbows, and they couldn't shoot the Sui army.

Li Mi convened the generals to discuss countermeasures.

Zhai Rang's brother Zhai Hong said: "I heard that Luoyang dispatched 500,000 troops this time, 200,000 more than us, I think we should go back to Luokou, close the gate, and stick to it." ”

Chai Xiaohe retorted: "Look at the posture of the Sui army, even if we retreat to Luokou, will they not attack?" ”

Zhai Hong was choked and said angrily: "Then what do you say?" 300,000 against 500,000, there is definitely no chance of winning. ”

Pei Renji thought for a while and said, "Why don't you call Fang Yanzao back who is stationed in Liyang Cang?" He has 70,000 horses there, plus the defenders of Luokou, I think with the combat effectiveness of our Wagangzhai, 400,000 against 500,000, there is still a good chance of victory. ”

"It's too late to transfer troops now." Zhai Rang glanced out anxiously.

Everyone looked at each other, lost their minds for a while, and looked at Li Mi in unison.

Li Mi met their gaze, pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "For today's plan, we can only go head-on."

"Listen to me, we just lost a game, we can feign defeat and lure the Sui army into the trap we have arranged....."

After the plan was finished, everyone's eyes lit up again, and they immediately began to prepare.

It didn't take long for the Sui army to build a pontoon bridge on the Luoshui River, and Wang Shicheng immediately led the army towards the opposite bank.

Hu Benlang took the lead and led the forward troops to cross Luoshui and break through the defense of the Wagang army.

The Wagang army was defeated and fled in a hurry.

Wang Wei pursued all the way until he broke through the outer fence, and suddenly the people fell into the big pit on their backs, and the men and horses behind them all fell into the deep trench without exception.

At the same time, countless flying arrows fell from the sky, and bursts of fierce screams suddenly erupted in the Sui army.

"Oh no, it's a trick, retreat."

Wang Wei jumped to his feet, waving the big knife in his hand to dodge the arrows, and ran in the direction he had been coming.

Countless Wagang troops rushed out from all directions, and killed the Sui army when they saw it.

The Sui army behind immediately turned the horse's head and ran back, and Wang Wei grabbed a horse from the Wagang army and galloped towards Luoshui.

Li Mi took the lead and led the soldiers to catch up.

The follow-up troops led by Pei Qiantong did not know what was happening in front of them, but only saw the forward troops fleeing back in panic, and under the fright, they also turned around and fled back.

The two sides chased me and fled, all the way from the land to the pontoon bridge on the water, the blood dyed Luoshui red, and countless soldiers fell into Luoshui, making the water surface of Luoshui much higher.

Wang Shichong was on the shore, and when he saw the soldiers scattering and fleeing, the Wagang army was menacing, and hurriedly ordered: "Mingjin collects the troops." ”

"No, go all out."

Yang Guang stopped Wang Shichong and ordered the drummers to beat the drums of the attack.

Pei Qiantong and Wang Wei heard the passionate drums, gritted their teeth, and immediately turned around and rushed to kill, "Brothers, rush, kill all the Wagang thieves." ”

"Kill—"

"Kill—"

The Sui troops on the shore swarmed up and boarded the pontoon bridge.

Li Mi rose up and said loudly: "Brothers, rush over and kill the Dog Emperor." ”

"Kill—"

"Kill—"

The two sides were caught in a scuffle.

It didn't take long for the Sui army to gain the upper hand and force the Wagang army to retreat step by step.

At this moment, the horn of the Wagang army was heard.

When the Wagang army heard this, they retreated one after another, and many people fell into the water and drowned in order to fight for the pontoon bridge.

Li Mi watched his soldiers retreat like a tide, and was stunned for a moment.

What's going on? Who gave the order to collect the troops?

In a daze, Pei Qiantong's spear stabbed over.

"Be careful."

Wang Bodang flew over, threw Li Mi on the pontoon, and dodged the spear.

Without hesitation or stopping, Wang Bodang grabbed Li Mi and ran to the shore.

Jumping off the pontoon, Wang Bodang raised the big knife in his hand to cut the pontoon bridge, but a spear shot at him, and he hurriedly dodged.

There was no chance to cut the pontoon bridge again, so Wang Bodang immediately ran in the direction of Luokou.

The Sui army pursued the victory until the army had crossed Luoshui, and it was getting late, and Yang Guang ordered the army to camp outside Luokou City.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Wang Shichong was overjoyed and said to Yang Guangyu: "Your Majesty, it is preliminarily estimated that we have annihilated a total of 50,000 Wagang rebels in today's battle. ”

"How many soldiers have we sacrificed?" Yang Guang asked.

Wang Shichong flipped through the paper in his hand and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, we have sacrificed a total of 8,000 people. ”

Eight thousand against fifty thousand, which is also a small victory.

Yang Guang's tense expression was finally relieved a little: "Pass the order, and the army will rest for a day." ”

There were bursts of joy in the camp of the Sui army, but there was a haze in Luokou City.

Li Mi yelled: "Who ordered the collection of troops? Who? ”
