Chapter 415 Tian Ji horse racing
"The shameless traitor and bitch"
Li Mi did not scold this sentence, but Li Mi's expression was still very ugly because of this. He held Chen Sangliang's handwriting and his knuckles were a little white. He knew Chen Sangliang's despicable plans and shameless goals in his heart, but he was helpless for a moment. The civil and military generals of the Wagang Army and Li Mi Army on both sides had different expressions. Zhai Rang, who was also holding Chen Sangliang's handwriting in his hand, had a strange expression, and there seemed to be some smile in his eyes.
"Mr. Fazhu, we Chen Liushou said." The envoy sent by Chen Sangliang spoke again and said politely: "Since Yang Xuangan's rebellion in the ninth year of Daye, he has fought with you repeatedly for four years. During this period, we Chen Liushou defeated you many times, but the soldiers and generals on both sides have died and injured, and they all have irreconcilable hatred and hatred. Now, Mr. Fazhu, you have made a comeback. There are many soldiers and generals. You must want to avenge your previous shame and avenge. We Chen Liushou are willing to give you this opportunity. As long as you lead your troops out of the pass, we Chen Liushou will immediately raise the troops of the East Capital and fight with you to the death. No victory or defeat, we will never withdraw the troops.
After saying that, the envoy sent by Chen Sangliang turned to Zhai Rang again and bowed to Zhai Rang and said, "General Zhai Rang, we Chen Liuzhao also have a saying that a villain wants to bring to you. This is the personal grudge between our Chen Liuzhao and Li Mi and Li Dharma Lord. Although you are also an enemy of our Dongdu official army, you can also be regarded as a hero of the green forest. Please put the morality of the green forest first and do not interfere in this matter."
Everyone didn't say anything, Li Mi didn't say anything, waiting for Zhai Rang's reaction. Fortunately, Zhai Rang quickly pointed at the Sui army envoy and cursed, "Just talk here, I have a ally with Duke Wei to overthrow the tyrants. Duke Wei fought with you tyrants and lackeys. How could I stand by and watch? Go back and tell Chen Yingliang that he would wash his neck and wait for death. I and Duke Wei will join forces to take off his head."
Chen Sangliang sent this envoy not to Qian Xiangmin, and was not frightened by Zhai Rang's arrogance. He nodded to show his understanding, then turned to Li Mi again, bowed and said, "Mr. Master Zhai values love and righteousness. We understand, but the same thing is still the case. If you have a little courage and feel that you are still a hero, don't ask others for help in this fight. We Chen Liushou will bring troops to fight you tomorrow. Is it a dignified battle to fight with you? It is still a ridiculous battle, and it will be ridiculous. It will be a devilish devil. The devil will decide on his own. Say goodbye."
After bowing, the envoy of the Sui army turned around and left. Li Mi could not bear it anymore and slapped the table and shouted: "Stop and tell Chen Yingliang the traitor, and ask him to come here to provoke discord. I and Dongjun Gong have already seen through his despicable face of Chen Yingliang's traitor. How can I be confused by your shameless plot? If you want to fight, come, I will go away."
"Get out, call Chen Gou Official, even if you come and die, we will accompany you to the end."
The generals of Li Mi's army and the leaders of the various rebel army from Wagang Army beside them cursed, but the envoy of the Sui army was not afraid at all. After celebrating, he left a large group of rebel leaders to continue to greet Chen Yingliang's ancestors on the spot. As soon as the envoy of the Sui army left, Li Mi immediately said to Zhai Rang: "Duke Dongjun, Chen Yingliang's traitor has such a clear purpose, which is to continue to sow discord between you and me, and deliberately only fight against me and advise you to stand by, in order to make you and me have the intention to preserve their own strength, create a rift, and then further sow discord. The traitor's traitor's plan is to investigate."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wei, how can I be fooled by Chen Yingliang's traitor again?" Zhai Rang slapped his chest and said, "That's all, if Chen Yingliang's traitor really dares to bring troops to come tomorrow, I will lead the troops out of the way with you and join forces to fight to the death with your Chen Yingliang's traitor."
When Li Mi heard this, he said that Zhai Rang had really learned a lesson丨I would not be fooled by Chen Sangliang again, so I quickly bowed to Zhai Rang to thank him. Zhai Rang also had a solemn expression and was polite, promising again that he would join hands with Li Mi to fight Chen Sangliang the next day. However, after the meeting, Zhai Rang had just returned to his room, and his precious brother Zhai Hong and his nephew Zhai Mohou immediately followed in. Zhai Hong asked Zhai Rang in a low voice: "Brother, do you really want to lead troops out of the customs and help Li Mi and Chen Gouguan fight to the death? If we do this, wouldn't we have a big loss?"
"Let's talk about the situation tomorrow." Zhai Rang replied in a low voice: "We just got 100,000 stones of grain from Li Mi. We can't refuse to help him fight Li Mi and Chen Gouguan. Otherwise, who would dare to join forces with us in the future? But I wouldn't be so stupid that I rushed forward to join Chen Gouguan and let others take advantage of it." Zhai Hong and Zhai Mohou felt relieved and hurriedly persuaded Zhai Rang to act according to the opportunity. Don't be too selfless and do all the elites in Wagang to make wedding dresses for others, so that other outsiders can get free.
Chen Yingliang's character is indeed not very good, but he still attaches great importance to the word "reputation". Just after the next morning, the scout of the Wagang Army rushed back to Hulao Pass and reported to Li Mi and Zhai Rang and other rebel leaders, saying that the Sui army sent 10,000 troops, holding Chen Yingliang's flag, were coming to Hulao Pass. When Li Mi heard this, he felt that this was a great opportunity to consolidate the alliance between his own army and Zhai Rang. He immediately asked Zhai Rang and himself to send 10,000 troops to fight Chen Sangliang outside the pass. Zhai Rang did not hesitate after hearing this. He immediately ordered 10,000 troops and led him out of the pass to form a formation, waiting for Chen Sangliang's arrival.
It is safe to station in the city, but there is also a disadvantage that the attack is relatively affected. It is definitely not something that the 20,000 troops want to line up and walk out of the narrow city gate. It is definitely not something that can be done in a short time. Li Mi and Zhai Rang's troops took a moment to get out of the city and gathered into a formation. However, they worked hard to set up the formation left and right, but they did not wait until the main force of the Sui army led by Chen Sangliang. When Li Mi and Zhai Rang were wondering, another scout rushed over and said to Li Mi and others: "Report to Duke Wei, Duke Dongjun, the official army has retreated."
"Have you retreated?" Li Mi and Zhai Rang were all stunned when they heard this. They never dreamed that Chen Sangliang could be so arrogant and lead the troops to fight in person. After only half of the way, they retreated back.
The scout nodded again to confirm, and Zhai Rang became angry and said angrily: "What the hell is Chen Gou? He went back halfway and was playing with us?"
"The traitor Chen Yingliang is deliberately trying to make us complain and make our soldiers complain and then have a rift." Li Mi saw Chen Yingliang's vicious intention at a glance, but he was still helpless and said, "Look, this traitor must have the evil people complain first, and send someone to scold me as timid as a mouse. He dare not fight alone with him. He only dares to hide behind you, your fox and your tiger power."
"What should I do?" Zhai Rang turned his head and asked, "Do you go to attack Chen Gouguan's camp?"
"Is Chen Yingliang's traitor's camp so easy to be attacked?" Li Mi shook her head with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Retreat the troops, go back and discuss carefully
In this way, after a vain, the coalition forces of Li Mi and Zhai Rang retreated to Hulao Pass in shame. As a result, the Wagang Army had just withdrawn, soon a group of Sui army light cavalry rushed to Hulao Pass, pulled open his throat and scolded Li Mi as timid as a mouse, and did not dare to fight alone with Chen Yingliang. They would only hide behind Zhai Rang as a turtle, a rat, and were extremely shameless, and publicly and directly persuaded Zhai Rang to destroy Li Mi, annex Li Mi's army, and continue to be the boss of the entire army.
The angry Wagang cavalry of course came out of seclusion to pursue, but the group of Sui army light cavalry fled faster than rabbits. As soon as the city gate opened, they turned around and fled. The Wagang cavalry was chasing him. Li Mi, who had retreated to the command center, was shocked and quickly sent people to chase and stop him. However, it was too late to do so. When Li Mi's messenger chased the Wagang cavalry, the Wagang cavalry who had launched the pursuit without authorization were surrounded and beaten by more than 200 Sui cavalry ambushed by the roadside. More than 30 cavalry were killed without leaving any armor. When the Wagang army dispatched a large number of cavalry to pursue, the Sui cavalry of that regiment had already run away.
Upon hearing this, Li Mi and Zhai Rang were both furious and found that Wang Shichong's reinforcements arrived in Guancheng and stopped going north. There was no threat behind Hulao Pass for the time being. Li Mi and Zhai Rang immediately discussed the matter of advancing to attack Luokoucang and decided to send 50,000 troops to first remove the Sui army's Invincible Camp camp on the east bank of the Shizi River to attack the morale of the Sui army, and then plan to make progress. During this period, Li Mi and Zhai Rang also joined forces to agree that the Wagang Army would take the main attack task and be responsible for attacking the Sui army's camp, while Li Mi Army would take the cover task and be responsible for preventing the Sui army from crossing the river to rescue the Invincible Camp.
As the test of fierce battles came, everyone knows what kind of things the Invincible Battalion is. It is logical that it is impossible to stop the frontal attack of the elite Wagang Army. Fortunately, Chen Sangliang had considered this beforehand. The distance of 30 miles also gave Chen Sangliang sufficient time to respond. As soon as the scouts found that the Wagang Army had gone out of the city to gather in large numbers, Chen Sangliang immediately ordered Niu Jinda to lead 3,000 troops across the river to reinforce Liu Changgong, and to assist the guards in Liu Changgong's camp. He also ordered Kan, who was good at fighting tough battles, to lead 5,000 troops out of the city and to garrison troops on the west bank of the Shizi River to prevent any situation. Then, through continuous scouts, they analyzed the enemy situation and studied countermeasures.
The Li Mi Army and Wagang Army, which had never been integrated, gave Chen Sangliang the opportunity to make a move. The clearly distinguished Li Mi Army and Wagang Army had just set up their own formations on the other side of the Shizi River. Chen Sangliang saw through the wishful thinking of Li Mi Army and Wagang Army at a glance. In the face of joy, Chen Sangliang not only ordered Niu Jinda and Liu Changgong to defend the east bank camp to death, but also ordered Qin Qiong to lead a thousand cavalry in the Nanying Camp outside Luokou Cang, and at the same time sent 200 soldiers to a carefully selected preparatory ferry crossing in the upper reaches of the Shizi River, ready to build a pontoon bridge at any time to attack the Sui army cross the river upstream.
According to the original plan, the troops stationed troops were attacking Liu Changgong's camp in front of the gate of the Wudi Camp. Li Mi stationed troops at the entrance of Shizihe Fuqiao to prevent the main force of the Sui army from sending troops to rescue. After the battle started, the Wagang army's attack was quite fierce and rushed directly to the front door of Liu Changgong's camp. Fortunately, the three thousand regular troops brought by Niu Jinda had already taken over the front defense and suppressed the charge momentum of the Wagang army with strong bows and crossbows in time. They did not give the Wagang army a chance to enter the camp directly, forcing the Wagang army to extend to both wings. While destroying the battalion defense fortifications in Liu Changgong's camp, they fought with the defenders in the camp with difficulty, and the progress was not fast.
The second generations under Liu Changgong's command still played some role. Although these second generations of masters were as sorry as their chief general, Niu Jinda led the army to the front, and these second generations could still do it when they hid behind and shot arrows to cover them. The Wagang army was difficult to quickly break through the camp, but even so, the battle at the camp gate was still very fierce, with swords and swords, flying arrows like locusts, and flesh and blood flying. Although the Sui army, which lacked elites, was still at a disadvantage, they could only resist and had no power to fight back.
Through on-site observation, it was determined that the so-called invincible camp of the Sui army was definitely not true. In a very happy mood, Zhai Rang, who had chosen the cheap, quickly invested a large number of reserve troops to strengthen the attack. Li Mi frowned. He never expected that Chen Sangliang would be so bold that he would dare to place the first and second-line troops on the east bank of the Shizi River to establish a camp, and assume the important task of resisting the frontal attack of the Wagang Army. If he had known that the Sui army on the east bank of the Sui army was so weak, Li Mi would definitely be rushing to attack Liu Changgong's camp.
"Damn it, use the first and second-tier troops to restrain the enemy's main force and create an opportunity for his real main force to attack. This is clearly a trap set by Chen Yingliang's little thief for Zhai Rang. Why did I step on this trap?" Li Mi was angry, but he was helpless - the battle had already started, and Li Mi could not run to ask Zhai Rang to change the mission, replace Li Mi to fight the group of rookies in the Invincible Camp, and replace Zhai Rang to resist the elites of the Sui army? Then Zhai Rang would be strange if he didn't turn against Li Mi immediately.
As expected, Chen Sangliang, who saw the Wagang Army's increase in troops and the Invincible Army camp, was not worried about the Invincible Army. Chen Sangliang laughed and immediately ordered Kan to attack and cross the Shizi River to attack Li Mi's army. Li Mi had no choice but to send troops to fight against the elite troops under Chen Sangliang. Then, Li Mi, who knew his family, sent someone to contact Zhai Rang urgently, and asked Zhai Rang to attack quickly with the reputation of the leader of the alliance, and seize Liu Changgong's camp as soon as possible to break the equalization of the battlefield.
At the same time, Qin Qiong's army in Cangnan Camp in Luokou also began to move. With the cover of the camp fences and hills, they quietly rushed to the reserve ferry upstream of the Shizi River that was also covered by hills and trees. After arriving at the scene, the 200 engineers who were ambushing there immediately set out to build a pontoon bridge to help the thousand cavalry under Qin Qiong cross the river and secretly appeared on the flank of Li Mi's army...
It was a short time. In fact, when the Qin Qiong army arrived at the upper ferry, more than half an hour had passed. The Wagang army, which had strengthened the attack, finally opened a gap in the northeast of Liu Changgong's camp and entered the Invincible Army. Niu Jinda, who was responsible for the frontal blocking, was forced to retreat to the Central Army camp and met with Liu Changgong who was stationed there. With the Central Army camp, the morale of the Wagang army who succeeded in the attack was greatly boosted, and he rushed into the camp continuously. He killed everyone when he saw it. The soldiers of the Invincible Camp fled everywhere. Zhai Rang was overjoyed and again invested in the attack again to strengthen the attack. He was extremely surprised to find many valuable items in the Invincible Army camp, and even found a beautiful woman. The soldiers of the Wagang army were even more happy when they saw it, and rushed to enter the camp to collect spoils. A large number of combat forces were therefore restrained into Liu Changgong's camp.
The invincible camp was defeated by Chen Sangliang, and he didn't feel much distress at all. At the same time, what made Chen Yingliang happy was that Qin Qiong kept flying and reporting smoothly, and School Kan successfully restrained Li Mi's large number of main combat soldiers. After receiving the news that Qin Qiong had successfully crossed the river, Chen Sangliang no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the ignition of the cannon to launch a surprise attack. At the same time, the two armies of Luo Shixin and Cheng Yaojin attacked from the southern camp, and took the floating bridge to reinforce School Kan and attacked the front of Li Mi's army.
At this time, the scout of Li Mi's army finally discovered the situation where Qin Qiong's army crossed the river at the secret ferry upstream. After reporting the news to Li Mi, Li Mi, who had already increased his pressure on the front, was shocked and quickly divided his troops to intercept Qin Qiong, and sent people to report to Zhai Rang, asking Zhai Rang to send troops to help him resist Qin Qiong's assault.
Zhai Rang's reply made Li Mi feel angry, "I will soon take down the East Coast Camp of the Official Army. Please hold on for a while. I will immediately reinforce you after I succeed."
"Tian Ji's horse racing" Li Mi cursed, "The lower army attracted Zhai Rang's elite soldiers, the upper army attacked my front, suppressed my main combat soldiers, the central army raided my flank, and Chen Xiaozhe, who was raised by the bitch, would really capture my weaknesses."
It was too late to understand Chen Sangliang's tactics. With the sound of horse hooves, Qin Qiong's thousand elite cavalry came in line. Before Li Mi could defend the road, the team sent to intercept had been directly broken by the Sui cavalry. Then the Sui cavalry kept stopping and directly attacked Li Mi's front flank. Li Mi's army, which had already been shaking in front of Kan's heavy hammer, collapsed quickly and was defeated to the rear. Kan, Luo Shixin and Cheng Yaojin led their troops to pursue with all their might, expelling Li Mi's defeated troops into free vanguards, and attacked Li Mi's central army's front, and Qin Qiong's army quickly detoured and continued to rush to the flanks of Li Mi's army.
As mentioned earlier, Li Mi does have a lot of food and soldiers, but friends can tell if they have to think about it for a little while. How much overall combat power can the Li Mi army, which has expanded to a huge 180,000 yuan in just ten days? How huge should the combat power gap between the main combat soldiers and the hungry auxiliary soldiers who have just had a few days of meals? The main combat soldiers guarding the front line retreated. Even if the number of auxiliary soldiers in the second-line army behind them is large, what role can they do?
Without any suspense, Li Mi's army, with huge military quality, was defeated unexpectedly. Even if there were many elite soldiers in the central army beside Li Mi, it would be difficult to withstand the joint attacks of several powerful generals of the Sui army. The second-line auxiliary soldiers behind were even more miserable. They were rushed by the mobility and flexible Sui cavalry. Li Mi spent a lot of effort to train and form a formation and collapsed one after another. The defeated soldiers fled everywhere. A large number of central army fled into Li Mi's army to shake the morale of the army and fled directly to the Wagang army to contend panic.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhai Rang, who had already entered Liu Changgong's camp, had to quickly withdraw the troops and withdraw the elite troops of Wagang, who were already trapped in Liu Changgong's camp, and reorganize and gather. Liu Changgong led his personal troops and Niu Jinda to take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack. He also lit his own camp tent generously, used the strong smoke of fire to create chaos for the Wagang army, and took advantage of the troubled waters to gain some results. The second-generation men of the Invincible Camp who had fled or were captured also began to counterattack one after another, gradually recovering the lost land - and also accumulated some experience in actual combat.
The retreating Li Mi army suffered the Wagang army. Although relying on his experience and combat effectiveness, the elite Wagang troops quickly withdrew from the camp without much loss. However, seeing that the large number of defeated Li Mi army had fled all over the mountains and fields, the morale of the Wagang army was still greatly affected. In addition, Zhai Rang had some mentality of preserving his strength. After withdrawing from the camp, he just came up to pick up Li Mi and withstood the attack of the Sui army. Zhai Rang immediately asked for retreat. Li Mi refused to give up and shouted in the chaos: "Dongjun Duke, we still have hope. As long as your army persists, we can at least tie the official army. Our rear army is sufficient and use up all the elite soldiers of Chen Yingliang's traitors, we can easily take Luokoucang."
"Ah? Mr. Wei, what did you say? Retreat? You understand very well." The people in the chaotic army shouted that the horses were neighing, and the killing sounded like thunder. Zhai Rang did not hear Li Mi clearly, and misunderstood Li Mi's request and shouted loudly: "Ming Jin, retreat and retreat"
As he shouted, Zhai Rang turned around and turned back. Seeing his commanding flag retreating, the Wagang army also turned back one after another. Li Mi was so angry that she didn't dare to fight with her main elite and Chen Sangliang's elite. At no cost, Li Mi had to take her main soldiers to flee. She also swears in her heart while running, "You must bring the Wagang elite. Only when the Wagang elite absolutely obeys my command, I will be sure to defeat Chen Yingliang's little thief."
Fortunately, Chen Sangliang is also a person who likes to preserve his strength. He noticed that the Wagang army was still resisting during the retreat and showed no sign of collapse. Before the Sui army had chased for ten miles, Chen Sangliang had already ordered the troops to retreat and turned around. He refused to let the few elite soldiers in his hands fight against the elite soldiers in the pursuit in vain. However, when counting the results after the war, Chen Yingliang's great pain was still. Qin Qiong's Qi County elite cavalry lost more than 100 people, and the Mo Dao soldiers under the command of Kan's school lost more than 300 people, of which nearly 100 were Chen Sangliang's Qiao Peng elites at the time, and Cheng Yaojin and Luo Shixin also suffered more than 300 losses. The Dongdu army under Niu Jinda lost more than 1,000 people. The camp of the Invincible Camp was basically scrapped, and Liu Changgong's army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and countless losses of supplies, weapons and armor. Of course, most of the lost supplies, weapons and armor were lost in the Invincible Camp.
"Damn it, I've killed one-tenth of my troops in one battle and lost more than two thousand war soldiers. I really underestimated Li Mi's elite soldiers and the elite Wagang thieves." Chen Sangliang thought hatred, "I must drag Wang Shichong into the battlefield as soon as possible to share the pressure for me, otherwise, my capital will be completely destroyed sooner or later."
