At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 662
Dawn broke, and a blood-red sun rose from the eastern horizon, emitting thousands of rays of light.Amidst the fierce battle drums, Zheng Jun, to which Wang Shichong belonged, began to forcibly cross the Luoshui River. With swords and shields in hand, they quickly rushed from the three pontoon bridges to the north bank, like a flood that broke through the gates.

The Wei army that Li Mi belonged to did not stop it immediately, probably planning to "strike at half-crossing". Wang Shichong couldn't help but chuckled when he saw this, and ordered to step up the river crossing. The tight shield formation slowly moved forward, not only to guard against the Wei army's attack, but also to make room for the brothers behind.

In this way, Zheng Jun crossed the river step by step, and the safety factor was naturally improved. Li Mi couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and secretly scolded Wang Shichong for being cunning, and he was as annoying as a rat in the gutter.

"His grandma, Wang Shichong's bastard is too gritty, not happy at all, at such a slow speed, when will half of the people come over?" Cai Jiande cursed.

Since Fang Yanzao's death, Zu Junyan became Li Mi's chief advisor. However, although this person's literary talent is first-rate, his resourcefulness is not as good. At this time, seeing Zheng Jun's step-by-step style of play, he hesitated for a long time before suggesting Said: "Wei Gong, why don't you do it, Wang Shichong's style of play, I'm afraid the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."

Li Mi also committed the problem of dogmatism at the beginning, only thinking of "crossing the river is not enough, hit the middle stream", but Wang Shichong went steadily, crossing the river bit by bit, without giving him a chance There are more and more Zheng troops in the river, and the defensive power of the shield array is stronger.

At this moment, Li Mi finally came to his senses, and immediately ordered an attack on Zheng Jun. However, just as the battle had just started, an urgent message was sent as soon as he rode a fast horse. within the territory.

Li Mi couldn't help being shocked, Zu Junyan and Cai Jiande's expressions also changed drastically, it's over, the rear has been broken through, and the situation is critical! ! !

Li Mi regained his composure, and commanded sharply, "This matter must not be made public. Anyone who disturbs our army's morale will be killed without mercy!"

Zu Junyan, Cai Jiande, and the surrounding soldiers all fell silent.There was a flash of madness in Li Mi's eyes. Now he can only reverse the passive situation if he quickly defeats Wang Shichong. Otherwise, once the Tang army comes, he will be defeated by the enemy, so Li Mi immediately ordered a full-scale attack. The three armies pressed forward in an arc fan shape. , Trying to crush Wang Shichong's shield with overwhelming momentum.

However, at this moment, the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from behind Wei Jun, shaking the ground so much that two cavalrymen rushed out from Beiman Mountain and rushed to the rear of Wei Jun condescendingly.

There are not many of these two cavalry, each of which is about [-] cavalry, but they came too suddenly, they rushed down from a high place by surprise, and entered the rear of the Wei army without any effort, like cutting melons and vegetables Harvesting human lives, Wei Jun's rear line also became chaotic!

Now Li Mi is in serious trouble, his troops are pushing forward with all their strength, and everyone's attention is focused on Zheng Jun in front, who would have expected that the rear was suddenly attacked, the rear army was in chaos, and Wei Jun in front couldn't help it. Knowing what was going on, he thought that there was an army coming to attack from behind, and he also fled desperately, thus a fatal chain reaction occurred.

Ruined!
The mere [-] cavalrymen of the Zheng army turned out to be as powerful as a broken bamboo, as if they had entered a no-man's land, and they made the [-] to [-] Wei army into chaos and broke into an army!
Wang Shichong was ecstatic when he saw this, my son really did not disappoint my father!
It turns out that Wang Shichong sent two groups of cavalry to sneak into Beiman Mountain and hid in the dense forest in the valley. One of the cavalry was led by Wang Xuanshu, the second son of Wang Shichong, and the other was his cousin. Wang Bian was in charge of leading the army. At this time, he suddenly rushed out to attack Li Mi's rear army, and immediately received a miraculous effect.

Wang Shichong is a veteran in the battlefield, how could he let go of such an excellent opportunity, and immediately ordered to switch from defense to offense. Zheng Jun gave up defense and rushed forward, while the follow-up troops also accelerated to cross the bridge.

At this time, Li Mi's rear army was in chaos, and the central army was also in chaos soon. Li Mi didn't know what happened at this time, and he didn't know how many enemy cavalry came from the rear. The commander's eyes were dark, this is fatal up.

Originally, Li Mi's military morale was unstable, but at this time the army was in chaos, and everyone had no intention of fighting, and fled in all directions. Seeing that it was irreparable, Li Mi could only try his best to save money, so he immediately retreated downstream.

Li Mi's commander-in-chief quickly moved downstream, and the generals of the Wei army followed subconsciously and hurriedly fled downstream. Wang Shichong took the opportunity to lead his army to chase after him. He won a complete victory, beheaded tens of thousands, and seized a large number of weapons Horses and food, etc., and dozens of Wei generals including Zu Junyan and Pei Renji were captured at the same time.

In this decisive battle at Beimang Mountain, Wang Shichong won with a superior skill!
Li Mi lost nearly half of his men and horses, and lost all his luggage. In the end, there were only about 30,000 people left. They rushed to Luokou Cang, trying to join the Wei army guards there, and Luokou Cang also had enough food supplies.

Wang Shichong stayed in the city of Luoyang for more than a year, and finally he proudly defeated Li Mi in the battle of Mangshan. Koucang will never give Li Mi any chance to breathe, and at this time, Wei general Zheng Bing, who was in charge of guarding Yanshi, surrendered Wang Shichong unscrupulously. In this way, Wang Shichong can go after Li Mi freely.

Let's talk about Li Mi, who led about [-] defeated troops to the lower reaches of the Luoshui River, and walked nearly [-] miles in one breath, before he dared to stop and rest. It was only after counting the troops that his heart sank, and there were only [-] left in the [-] army. The rest, half of it is gone, and almost all the luggage is lost, which is not an ordinary tragedy.

"Where are Zu Junyan and Pei Renji?" Li Mi suddenly woke up that these two people were gone, and hurriedly asked, but a soldier replied cautiously: "My subordinates saw that they were surrounded by Zheng Jun, so they were either killed or captured. gone."

Li Mi couldn't help feeling a sense of desolation in his heart, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Is the heaven really going to kill me, Li Mi?"

Cai Jiande comforted: "Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Duke Wei needn't be overly depressed. Wang Shichang was killed by Duke Wei and his entire army was annihilated at the beginning. He fled back to Luoyang City alone. He didn't make it in the end...uh!"

Cai Jiande suddenly woke up and used Wang Shichong as an example, no doubt to sprinkle salt on Wei Gong's wound, and shut up quickly.

But Li Mi didn't seem to take it seriously, nodded and said: "Jiande's words are reasonable. If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of no firewood. I, Li Mi, have even bigger storms, and it's nothing to lose once!"

Cai Jiande cheered up and said: "That's right, with Duke Wei's talent, we don't have to worry about making a comeback. Let's rush back to Jinyong City to join Wang Bodang and fight Wang Shichong again."

Li Mi shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it won't work. Our army has lost its supplies. Without food, the army's morale will inevitably be weakened. There is no need for Wang Shichong to attack and it will collapse on its own."

Cai Jiande asked in surprise, "Then what should we do?"

"Go to Luokou Warehouse first. Not only is the distance closer, but you can also get food supplies." Li Mi said solemnly.

Cai Jiande hurriedly said: "Wei Gong is more considerate, then let's rush to Luokou warehouse immediately."

Ever since, Li Mi continued to lead the remnant soldiers downstream to Luokou Cang.

It is said that the Wei general who was in charge of guarding the Luokou warehouse was called Jia Runfu, and he was one of the earliest members of Wagangzhai. Like Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji, they were all old people who followed Zhai Rang, so when Li Mi attacked and killed Zhai Rang's brothers, Jia Runfu He was dissatisfied with Li Mi, but he dared not speak out because of Li Mi's power.

Therefore, when Jia Runfu received that Li Mi was defeated at the foot of Mang Mountain, he immediately went on and on and offered the Luokou warehouse to Wang Shichong.

This unexpected joy made Wang Shichong almost laugh his teeth out, his character exploded, and he took down the Luokou warehouse without a single soldier. Come on, hahaha!

Li Mi was in a tragedy. He planned to go to Luokoucang to replenish blood, but when he came to Luokoucang, he found that Jia Runfu had rebelled. Li Mi had no choice but to abandon the Luokou Warehouse, plundered the surrounding counties, grabbed a batch of grain, and then fled north in a hurry.

Wang Shichong led his troops to pursue and kill Li Mi. Although Li Mi finally fled back to Jinyong City, the 20,000 remnants lost another [-], and only less than [-] were left. Fortunately, Wang Bodang, who was in charge of guarding Jinyong City, still had [-] people under his command. After one place, he had [-] yuan, which finally allowed Li Mi to keep a little of his capital.

In addition, Xu Shiji led more than [-] Qi troops to attack Xingyang County. When the news of Li Mi's defeat in Mangshan came, Xu Shiji happened to take down the county seat of Xingyang County-Guancheng.

At this time, Xu Shiji looked at the latest information in his hands, and couldn't help but feel very emotional. Li Mi's generation of heroes, who ruled the Central Plains for several years, claimed to have millions of soldiers under his command, but he was easily defeated by Wang Shichong in the battle of Mangshan. There are many reasons for Li Mi's disastrous defeat, but I have to say that Wang Shichong is really good, and he really shouldn't be underestimated!

"Pass the order, the army will move out immediately, and rush to Hulao Pass!" Xu Shiji gave the order, and the Qi army who had just taken down the city had no time to rest, and immediately set off to attack Hulao Pass.

Obviously, Xu Shiji wanted to take Hulao Pass before Wang Shichong, but when he arrived at Hulao Pass, he found that the flag hanging on the pass was not Li Wei's flag, but Wang Zheng's.

Xu Shiji couldn't help being taken aback, Du Ruhui was also in doubt, Wang Shichong has captured the Hulao Gate?Isn't this action too fast?
Xu Shiji and Du Ruhui didn't expect that Li Mi's defeat would reveal the consequences of killing Zhai Rang's brothers. First, the guard of Yanshi Zheng Ting surrendered to Wang Shichong, then the guard of Luokou Cang Jia Runfu also surrendered, and finally the guard of Hulao General Li Gongyi also had to surrender to Wang Shichong, so Xu Shiji hurried to catch up, but in the end he was one step too late.

And just when Xu Shiji and Du Ruhui were in doubt, a handsome young man appeared on the top of Hulao Pass, it was Wang Jundu!
Wang Jundu stood at the top of the wall, laughed loudly and said, "So it's General Xu and Mr. Du, I'm sorry, you are late, Li Mi has already been defeated by King Zheng, General Wei from Luokou Cang and Hulao Pass offered to King Zheng down."

Xu Shiji and Du Ruhui couldn't help but suddenly realized, no wonder Wang Shichong acted so fast, he dared to take advantage of it, Li Mi killed Zhai Rang brother and made the old people in Wagang alienated, now he finally reaped the consequences, it's really sad and lamentable!
Wang Jundu smiled and said: "Jundu remembers the agreement with King Qi that Xingyang County can belong to Qi State, but Hulao Pass must belong to King Zheng. Now that General Xu and Mr. Du are leading an army to the city, is it because they want to break the contract and renege on their promise?"

Xu Shiji smiled lightly and said, "The king of Qi has always kept his promises. Since he promised Hulaoguan to return to Wang Shichong, he will naturally not break his promise."

Wang Jundu smiled and said, "Then what is the purpose of General Xu leading the army here?"

Xu Shiji said calmly, "Hulao Pass belongs to you, but the front of Hulao Pass is the territory of Qi State. It seems that Wang Shichong doesn't need Wang Shichong's consent for this general to lead his army to station here?"

Wang Jundu's face froze, he forced a smile and said, "That's true, but it's cold, it's okay for General Xu to be stationed here." After speaking, he laughed, turned and left the city, ignoring him.

Xu Shiji couldn't help sneering, Du Ruhui stroked his beard and said with a smile: "General Xu don't need to be angry, let this son be proud for a while, King Qi should have sneaked into Luoyang City by now."

When Xu Shiji heard this, he immediately felt better, nodded and said, "There should be no problem with internal response."
