The arrogant army will be defeated! The mourning soldiers will win!

It may be that Li Mi has become proud after capturing Xingyang and defeating tens of thousands of Sui troops led by Pei Renji, or it may be that the Sui army led by Wang Shichong has a sense of grief and indignation in his heart.

Just about a hundred miles east of Luoyang City, 50,000 was almost the last elite Sui army in Luoyang and nearly 100,000 Wagang troops fought a fierce battle.

Although the Sui Empire has long had gunpowder weapons, but because of the lack of sulfur saltpeter mines in the Sui Empire, it can still obtain a small number of raw materials in peacetime, and now the powerful gunpowder weapons of the rebel army have lost their source, which is one of the reasons why the Sui army has been unable to completely quell the rebellion.

The whole battle was fought from noon until the evening when it was dark, thanks to the well-trained Sui army, and the equipment was the best weapons and armor in the forbidden army, so even if the Sui army was only half of the number of the Wagang army, it could still fight with them.

For Li Mi and Zhai Rang, Wang Shichong's Sui army is basically the last Sui army they faced, although there are still 50,000 or 60,000 forbidden troops in Luoyang City, but as long as they defeat the 50,000 Sui troops in front of them, then the Sui army in Luoyang City will simply flee.

Therefore, even if the two sides fought without victory or defeat during the day, the losses of the Wagang army were even more than double that of the Sui army, but the two of them still had a trace of expectation in their hearts, and for a while, the generals and soldiers of the Wagang army were very loud about their leader entering Luoyang to become the emperor.

Before Li Mi came to Wagang, although the Wagang army also had a small record in the local area with its relatively good combat effectiveness, it was limited to the generals' vision that they could only make small fights, and the generals of the unified army were basically Zhai Rang's relatives, friends, and township parties.

After Li Mi came to Wagang, under his plan, he constantly recruited other small resistance forces, and in order to maintain their power after these small forces defected to Wagang, these new generals were basically attached to Li Mi's side, after all, these people all ran for Li Mi.

Because Li Mi had made great achievements in many previous battles against the Sui army, Zhai Rang gave him a part of the army to be commanded by him, known as the 'Pushan Gongying'.

After Li Mi got his own team, he governed the army strictly, and every time he got all the spoils of war were given to his subordinates, so he was very popular, but with the rapid increase of Li Mi's strength, the contradictions between the Yuan Zhai Rang generals and Li Mi's generals within Wagang began to become intense.

Wang Shichong soon got this important information, and he took advantage of the lack of information between Li Mi and Zhai Rang's generals to decide to attack the Wagang army camp at night.

At this time, Xue Ju, who was originally stationed in Hongnong County, also sent his general Renguo to lead an army of more than 10,000 people to support him, so Wang Shichong took the only dozens of rockets in the Sui army as the lead before dawn the next day, and then personally led the army to attack.

Zhai Rang's headquarters was close to the mountain in the north, the forward was 20,000 people led by Shan Xiongxin as a general, and Li Mi's department was close to Luoshui, as a result, Shan Xiongxin, who was the first to be attacked, was caught off guard and fled, and Zhai Rang's army was overwhelmed by these chaotic armies, and it was impossible to form an effective formation at all.

Fortunately, Li Mi had already responded to these situations, first forcibly shot and killed some of the rebels who rushed to the camp, and then used the 'Pushan Public Battalion' as the main force to block the strong attack of Wang Shichong's troops, which stabilized the large camp of the Wagang army, but at this time, the Wagang army suffered heavy losses and finally lost the ability to continue the attack.

Seeing this, Li Mi had to suggest that Zhai Rang withdraw his troops, so more than 80,000 Wagang troops carefully withdrew to the Tiger Prison Pass, Wang Shichong took the opportunity to pursue slowly, and Li Mi had to give up the Tiger Prison Pass, so Wang Shichong also stopped advancing after occupying the Tiger Prison Pass.

Although the Wagang Army failed outside Luoyang City, they are still the largest rebel force, and they still control Luokoucang, so it can be said that their strength is still unexpected, but at this time, the Wagang Army is facing a big crisis.

Because Li Mi forcibly shot some of the rebel troops who did not obey the order in order to keep the army camp from being chaotic, and as a result, most of these rebel troops were Zhai Rang's subordinates, so the generals of Zhai Rang's family attacked Li Mi after returning to Xingyang, saying that he intended to weaken Zhai Rang's subordinates and intended to rebel.

But what these generals didn't expect was that Zhai Rang's approach was unexpected, and the open-minded Zhai Rang actually took the initiative to give up the position of the leader of the Wagang Army to Li Mi on the grounds of his lack of ability, thinking that only Li Mi could lead the Wagang Army to a more powerful place.

Everyone actually agrees with Zhai Rang's statement, Li Mi's ability is indeed much stronger than Zhai Rang's, but the generals of Zhai Rang's family disagree with this approach, but they still reached a transfer of power at Zhai Rang's forcible request.

Since then, Li Mi has not only become the supreme leader of the Wagang army, but also united dozens of surrounding rebel armies to form an alliance to resist the Sui army, and Zhai Rang served as Situ, but Zhai Rang did not know that this decision led to his own death, and the Wagang army finally melted away.

However, at this time, the Wagang Army was still the time when he was going to the strongest, even if he retreated to Xingyang because of the previous defeat, but there were still a large number of young people, thieves, and horse bandits who continued to come and defect every day, and the lost troops recovered at an alarming speed.

If Wang Ze was here, he would definitely be surprised to find that most of these horse bandits and thieves actually took Wang Yong as their idol, they thought that the former King of Sanqi was born as a bandit, and how powerful the Xia Kingdom was established now, why couldn't they do such a great thing.

The Wagang army quickly surpassed the 150,000 army in a few months, capturing Dongjun, Jiyin County, Dongping County, Liang County and other places, including Xingyang, while Xu Yuanlang captured Pengcheng County, Langya County, Donghai County and other Huaisi places.

Zhishilang Wang Bo occupied Huaiyang County, Qian County, Runan County and other places, and in Huainan Jiangbei, it was the forces headed by Du Fuwei.

Du Fuwei was born in a poor family in the land of Jianghuai, since he was a child, because of the poverty of life as a thief, he and Fu Gongqi are friends of life and death, and later the two also gathered together for the reckless, in the land of Jianghuai is also a well-known gang of thieves.

When they heard the news that Wang Bo was doing something in Huaiyang County, they immediately led the crowd to defect without hesitation, but soon under Wang Bo's command, Du Fuwei thought that Wang Bo was difficult to succeed and led his troops to the south, plundering and claiming to be a general in the Huainan area.

The Sui Jiang capital stayed behind and sent the captain Song Hao to lead his troops to attack him, and Du Fuwei feigned defeat when he fought with him, led the Sui army into the reeds, and then set fire to it and defeated him.

After that, Du Fuwei annexed another army led by Zhao Pozhen, and since then his army has been very strong, and his strength has been further developed, and soon the Sui general Chen Liang led 8,000 elite soldiers to attack Du Fuwei, but the result was also a big defeat.

So Du Fuwei took advantage of the victory to capture Gaoyou, Liyang and other places, proclaimed himself the governor, and assigned the generals to go out of the strategy, and the small groups of rebels between Jiang and Huai also joined one after another, so Zhongli, Lujiang, Liyang and other counties were occupied by Du Fuwei.

At this time, in addition to Du Fuwei, there were also Li Zitong and Shen Faxing, and there were other rebel forces in various places, and the entire Sui Empire had been disrupted by rebellion, and it only took so much that it would completely fall.

The righteous army south of the river flourished, but Dou Jiande north of the river was defeated and retreated by Yang Yichen and Xue Shixiong at this time, Dou Jiande led tens of thousands of troops to retreat to Hejian County, and was finally surrounded by nearly 100,000 Sui troops led by the two of them.

But unexpectedly, just when the siege was about to be broken, the Xia army of Boling County suddenly crossed the Hutuo River and went south, defeating Yang Yichen and Xue Shixiong.

Then Dou Jiande handed over Hejian County to this Xia army, and he led the army to pursue Yang Yichen and Xue Shixiong's department, Dou Jiande did not know at this time that the Xia army in the land of Sanqi also crossed the river to the north to seize Bohai County, so that the Xia army of Zhuo County was completely bordered by the territory occupied by the Xia army of Sanqi.

Not to mention the Xia army, at this time, Yang Yichen and Xue Shixiong, who were defeated and fled, only had less than 20,000 people under their command, but once they were given enough time, they would soon be able to recruit a large number of troops who occupied the righteousness of the imperial court, which Dou Jiande did not want to see.

Yang Yichen and Xue Shixiong led the defeated army to flee to Xiangguo County before stopping, and before they could catch their breath, Dou Jiande led tens of thousands of troops to catch up, so the two continued to flee to Wei County, and the counties in the north surrendered to Dou Jiande one after another.

At this time, Xue Shixiong suggested that he retreat and return to Hedong to recruit a large army and then attack Dou Jiande, but Yang Yichen thought that there were three counties north of the river, Shangdang, Changping, and Wei County in the hands of the Sui army, and the south side of the river and the north blocked Taihang, which was enough to defend for the natural danger, and it was also a very important base to counterattack in the future, so it was best to defend on the spot.

Xue Shixiong felt that Yang Yichen's words were very reasonable, but at this moment, Hedong County was suddenly seized by Li Yuan's troops who went south, and now Yang Yichen and Xue Shixiong, who originally thought that they had a chance to turn the book, were completely desperate for the Sui Empire, and even the emperor's cousin took the lead in rebellion, which was not fun at all!

After learning the news that Li Yuan rebelled and occupied the entire Hedong counties, Yang Yichen decided to be optimistic about this land in Hebei for the Great Sui even if he died.

But at this time, Xue Shixiong had completely lost confidence in the Sui Empire, so after failing to negotiate with Yang Yichen, he quietly led nearly 10,000 people under his command to leave Wei County and go to Hedong to join Li Yuan.

At this time, Yang Yichen's troops became even weaker, and he was soon defeated by Dou Jiande, who quickly went south after learning of the situation, and Yang Yichen's troops were defeated and died.

The Sui army north of the river was completely defeated, and the east of the river was captured by Li Yuan, and the continuous bad news made Yang Guang disheartened and no longer paid attention to those military affairs.

He handed over everything in the Eastern Capital to Yu Wenhua and dealt with, and he himself was **** drinking and having fun, but he didn't know that his most trusted minister, Yu Wenhua, also began to have his own careful thoughts.
