The effect of lime powder was unexpected by the initiator Luo Shixin, let alone Wang Xiaohu, Su Dingfang and his group. They were located in the rear, and the lime powder had already scattered. The effect of blowing in front of them was minimal, and the unlucky ones were not harmful.

Looking at the dead soldiers who were killing each other, Wang Xiaohu, Su Dingfang, you look at me, and you feel a little fear in your heart. When it comes to charging, they are really not afraid. But they can't see this eye, and let their comrades die alive, or their hands are covered with blood of their brothers for survival. That feeling is chilling just thinking about it.

"General, the number of opponents is limited. I will immediately transfer my troops and horses to the city gate to block the left and right wings." Su Dingfang had a way to deal with it in his mind and hurriedly asked for his orders.

Wang Xiaohu flatly refused and said, "No, in this case, sending troops to attack the city is like killing me."

Su Dingfang smiled bitterly: "The general respects Dingfang too much. In this case, how dare Dingfang attack the city rashly? What he did was nothing more than force the Tang army to retreat, and how much he could save."

Wang Xiaohu also understood in his heart that things had come to this point. If the three thousand dead soldiers in the city were killed, how much morale would fall. At that time, Mingshui City would not be able to take it down, and said rudely: "Be careful, don't fall into it!"

Su Dingfang responded confidently, and called on his soldiers to detour from the left and right wings, intending to bypass the chaotic dead soldiers in the city to attack Mingshui City. At the same time, he also ordered his soldiers and generals to shout loudly, and the sound of killing was long.

Seeing that the Han Eastern Army came to reinforce again, Luo Shixin dared not fight for a long time, so he called on all the soldiers to withdraw back to the city.

When they returned to the city, Luo Shixin saw that the new Han East Army showed no sign of siege. They kept shouting gold and shouting the dead soldiers who were marching in chaos calmed down and retreated backwards.

Luo Shixin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The opponent's purpose was to save the city-climbing dead soldiers who were in chaos. He had no intention of siege the city. He glanced at the young general who was leading and kept his heart. The opponent's move happened to hit his fatal hole, forcing him to retreat.

After counting the number of people, they were fifty-three, but no one was lost. In contrast, the deaths of the Eastern Han army climbed the city suffered heavy losses, and at least 800 people were lost. Only a very small number of remaining soldiers were likely to be cured and fought again in the short term. The rest would lose their combat effectiveness for a long time or even permanently.

In other words, Luo Shixin did not lose one army in this battle, and killed three thousand Han Eastern Army, and the results were brilliant.

Even though he had to retreat at the last moment, Luo Shixin was still quite satisfied with this ending.

The Tang army also became more energetic because of this fighting spirit.

This time is the other time!

The Tang army was not injured, and the killing and wounding of the Han East Army had three thousand vitality. The attack on the morale of the Han East Army can be imagined, especially the vanguard soldiers who saw the cruel scene with their own eyes were even more afraid of the small Mingshui City.

Death is not unprepared for soldiers, especially the death soldiers who climbed the city put their heads on their waists. But even generals like Wang Xiaohu and Su Dingfang felt palpitations, let alone them, a heavy atmosphere spread in the army.

"General Wang, King Dong of Han issued an order to stop siege the city, please go to the general to discuss the important matters!"

Wang Xiaohu was worried about the way to break the city, but unexpectedly he was summoned by Liu Heita, handed over the matter to Su Dingfang, and rode his horse to the coach's tent.

As soon as they entered the tent, Wang Xiaohu Lijue had a different atmosphere. The tent stood on both sides of the tent, all famous generals who were experienced in battle: Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, Cao Zhan, Gao Yaxian... They all stood with their hands down, and seemed to be brave enough to dare to show off. Even the arrogant Song Xiena was particularly dull and didn't say a word.

Song Xie was the confidant of the Turkic Jie Li Khan, the Turkic Qijin, that is, the chief of a tribe. As the strongest force, the Turkic was most worried about the unification of the Central Plains and becoming stronger. After years of fighting, the general trend of Li Tang unification of the world was soaring. Jie Li Khan felt deeply uneasy and was enemies of Li Tang everywhere and sponsored anti-Tang forces free of charge. Liu Heita rose to Hebei, and Jie Li Khan immediately borrowed horses and soldiers. The three thousand Turkic cavalry led by Song Xiena was the strongest combat power of the Han Eastern Army. Because she looked down on the people of the Central Plains, Song Xiena showed off her martial arts and power in the Han Eastern Army, and even Liu Heita did not take it seriously, which made the generals dare not speak out.

Liu Heita looked at Wang Xiaohu silently and said after a long time, "I plan to give up Mingshui, what do you think of General Wang?"

Wang Xiaohu was shocked, full of bitterness, and bowed: "I will be incompetent, and I will let down the high expectations of King Dong of Han!"

Liu Heita waved his hand and asked him to get up, saying, "It's not your business. Lime destroys the enemy. Who would have thought that Luo Shixin, who is known for his bravery, used these despicable means at this critical moment. Now Mingshui City is like a chicken rib, and it's a pity to abandon it. With the current situation, we are restrained by the Tang army in Mingshui, which is really not far from destruction." His bright eyes swept through the tent and said loudly: "I, Liu Heita, have nothing else, I have a heart to avenge the King of Xia, and my brothers who are not afraid of death. Since Li Shimin is seeking a battle, then fight. In the Battle of Raoyang, we can defeat Li Tang's 50,000 troops with 15,000 troops. Now we have 30,000 troops, why not be afraid of Li Tang's 50,000."

Liu Heita gave the final encouragement, and the soldiers in the camp also shouted. But I don’t know how sincere he was.

Yes, they did fight Li Tang's 50,000 troops with 15,000 troops, but at that time, the commander of the Tang army was Li Shentong, and now the other side of Mingshui was Li Shimin...

Li Shentong and Li Shimin, can they be the same?

************

The south bank of Mingshui!

Li Shimin led several cavalry to stand on a hillside where he could look out to Liu Heita's military camp. Listening to Du Ruhui's report beside him, Yingwu's face also showed a smile, and his heart felt much more relaxed.

After fighting for many years, Li Shimin was invincible with his extraordinary military strategy, but this battle was the most heartwarming.

He set up a plan step by step, just waiting for the opportunity to succeed in one fell swoop. The inexplicable heavy snow in the spring disrupted his layout. If Luo Shixin had not been able to hold on for eight days, allowing him to complete the meeting with Luo Yi and complete the siege of Mingzhou, his strategy would have ended in vain.

Now he needs a happy victory to prove himself.

"Xuanling, Keming, what kind of mentality do you think Liu Heita is hiding his troops at this time?"

On the left side of Li Shimin is Fang Xuanling, the left side of the house and the right side of the house. The two major advisers who scared the world.

"It should be impossible to afford it!" Fang Xuanling chuckled and said, "The rebels were only 50,000 soldiers. Our army first annihilated 8,000 Liu Shishan and Zhang Jun's troops, and then defeated Zhaozhou, Xingzhou, Jingzhou and other northern prefectures and counties, and annihilated more than 6,000 people. After two months of tug-of-war, the Han East Army also paid a price of 3,000. Mingshui City attacked the toughest, and General Shixin killed and injured 6,000 Han East Army again. After several calculations, the remaining soldiers of the Han East Army reached the peak of only 30,000, which was almost half of them. They had no capital to consume them."

Fang Xuanling knew the situation of the Han East Army as he knew it.

" Withdraw our army, let our army cross the river, and fight for life and death under the city of Mingzhou!" Du Ruhui's simple words revealed Liu Heita's fighting method in one sentence.
