There is a very strange phenomenon in the melee between Dongdu, that is, brother Huaji, Wang Shichong and Mijia are deliberately shorting the Western Front, allowing Mianchi and Xin'an, two very tactical small counties, to empty the Western Front.

No one goes to fight, no one goes to rob. The Yang Defang army, who once occupied Xin'an City, voluntarily gave up Xin'an City and retreated to Yanshi before Yuwen's army crossed the Yellow River south, deliberately gave up Hua and his brother west.

The road to Guanzhong and Chen Sangliang to go out to Wuhan Road.

As for the purpose, Wang Shichong and Li Mi's purpose is of course to drag Chen Sangliang into the Dongdu battlefield as soon as possible, so as not to hide in Guanzhong to watch the fun and pick up cheap things. He also hopes that the miracle will happen, and Brother Hua and his brother can lead the main force to move westward directly.

Wu Han said, going directly to find Chen Sangliang's trouble, so there was no need to deploy any troops on the Western Front.

Unfortunately, Brother Hua and Brother is not stupid at this point. He knows that once he leads the main force to go west, Wang Shichong and Li Mi, the two ungrateful wolves, will definitely make trouble behind him, and at the same time, he will turn Brother Hua and Brother who are from the sect.

No matter how incompetent you are, you know the importance of geographical advantage. You understand that the road of Wuhandao is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you can lure Chen Sangliang's army out of Wuhandao to fight, it will be beneficial to the Xiaoguo army without any harm. Therefore,

Brother Huaji never paid attention to the Western Front. When the battles on both sides were unfavorable, Brother Huaji certainly did not want to station troops in the Western Front and opened up the third battlefield.

The tacit beliefs of the three forces certainly made Chen Sangliang a waste of money. Although the two cities of Mianchi and Xin'an were small and broken, they were poisoned by the war and fewer than a thousand residents in the city, Chen Sangliang only needed to send troops to take over these two small cities.

It is equivalent to controlling the entire Guhandao antenna and the tactical initiative of the battlefield near the Dongdu. However, this temptation is placed in front of you. Chen Sangliang, who has always liked to take advantage of it, rarely suppressed his temper and refused to send troops eastward.

Wang Shichong and Li Mi, who were anxious to pull Chen Sangliang into the melee of the Eastern Capital, were eager to see each other, and they were so anxious that their claws were almost stretched out in their throats, which also made the smart generals in Hua and his brother's army secretly happy, hoping that Chen Sangliang would be the best.

You must never send troops to Dongdu.

What should come will always come. Just as Wang Shichong and Li Mi were trembling under the power of Hua and his brother's powerful military power, on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, a fast horse finally rushed into Dongdu with Chen Sangliang's handwritten letters.

Hui'anmen brought a great news to Wang Shichong who was waiting for him. Before the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the vanguard army of the Daxing Sui army must have arrived in Xin'an to participate in the war, fully bearing the pressure from the Yuwen army for Wang Shi!

In addition, although Chen Sangliang was unable to lead the main force to go east to express his letter because Xue Ju and Li Gui formed an alliance to invade Guanzhong, Chen Sangliang clearly told Wang Shichong in the letter that his former army's strength was the size of his army.

There are 10,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalrymen, totaling 12,000 infantry and cavalry. Even if you cannot defeat Hua Ji brother, you can still pose a substantial threat to Hua Ji brother!

Given that Chen Sangliang is a treacherous person but has always been good at reputation, Wang Shichong's heart, which had been tightly held in his throat, finally returned to his stomach safely, and smiled with relief. Wang Shishi, Wang Shiyun and other members of the Wang family were all happy.

It was said that this time it finally saved a lot of worry. Only Wang Renze was unsatisfied and said dissatisfiedly: "It only has 12,000 troops, how much can it play? It's amazing that he forced Yu Wen and every man to divide his troops into tens of millions.

Take people to be wary of them. If Yu Wen and the common man are determined to defend and not fight, five thousand troops will enter Xin'an, which will be enough to restrain the Guanzhong vanguard."

"Don't be unsatisfied. It's already good to be able to send 12,000 troops in a virtuous son-in-law." Wang Shichong was quite optimistic and said with a smile: "Ying Liang's virtuous son-in-law has always been very important in using military power, not much, even if he is going to fight for troops to support him.

Li Mi and Li Yuan, who are more than 100,000, have been controlled by the scale of troops to be around 50,000, and they still beat traitors like Li Mi and Li Yuan to the point of defeat. This time, he was able to send 12,000 reinforcements in one go. I am already very satisfied.

.”

"That's right, it doesn't matter how many troops he sent. As long as he sends troops to fight Yu Wen and his husband!" Wang Shiyun said viciously: "As long as he fights Yu Wen and his husband, we can find ways to blame Guanzhong and let him

Yu Culture and the common man will do his best to deal with it!"

"Fifth brother, according to my brother's opinion, it is best to find a way to let Yu Wen and the common man know about this, the faster the better." Wang Shishi, the eldest son of the Wang family, suggested: "Yu Wen and the common man know that Chen Yingliang is about to send troops to Dongdu, so he must

Mobilize the army to intercept and fight. When he moves, he will not only reveal flaws, but also give us a chance to counterattack, but the pressure we face will also be much smaller immediately."

"This matter is easy to deal with. The news will be announced immediately, along with the news that the Daxing army arrived in Xin'an before the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, so that our army can know it, and the people of the whole city of Dongdu know it." Wang Shi?

He said: "In this way, our morale will not only be inspired, but Yu Culture and the people will definitely know it soon."

Everyone in the Wang family was overjoyed and praised each other for their kindness. Then Wang Shiheng, the second son of the Wang family, also suggested: "My brother, it is best to send a few messengers to contact Li Mi to let him know the good news and make sure that he will fight to the end with Yu Wenhua and every man.

Determined. Even if the Yuwen thief army is blocked strictly, our messenger will be taken down by the Yuwen thief army on the way, so that Yuwen and the common man can know this directly and damage his morale."

Wang Shichong was extremely satisfied after hearing this, and immediately nodded and accepted it. He immediately arranged the cannon fodder messenger to prepare to deliver the letter. When Wang Shichong picked up a pen to write a letter for Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong finally found a small problem and scolded: "This Ying Liang, how about it.

With such negligence, who was his former army leader who did not mention in the letter?"

Only then did the Wang family realize that Chen Sangliang had indeed forgotten to mention this point, but it was obviously just a small matter as big as sesame and mung beans, so no one took it seriously. They all comforted Wang Shichong and said it was okay, waiting for Chen Sangliang's front army.

When we arrived, we knew who was the leader. Wang Shichong didn't care much, but said in his heart: "It's okay, no matter who comes, it's the same. How many men don't like gold, silver, jewelry and beautiful beauties? Then we'll have a lot of them.

The beauty of jewelry sent him to him, so she would not worry about not being able to pull him into the battlefield immediately.”

As Wang Shichong expected, when he tried his best to start the propaganda machine and announced the good news that Guanzhong reinforcements had guaranteed to arrive in Xin'an before the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the eastern capital army, which had only half of the northern city, was indeed ecstatic and had a lot of morale.

Zhen, even ordinary people were smiling happily. Chen Sangliang, who said that he loved the people as much as his son, finally came back and had hope for a good life. Naturally, Yuwen Jun's detailed scouts also quickly heard this important news, and

Reported immediately to Jinyong City.

Hearing this news, Yuan Wuda, who was staying in Jinyong City and Sima Dekan, who had just been transferred back, were of course shocked. While sending more scouts to confirm the authenticity of the news, they also sent a quick horse to Luokoucang, 80 miles away.

On the battlefield, Xiang Hua and Brother reported this bad news - for Yuwen Jun now, this news is indeed a huge bad news.

After receiving a report from Yuan Wuda and others, Hua and his brother were shocked and could not believe that the news was true. He shouted and said it was impossible, and Chen Sangliang could not come to find him at this time.

Trouble. However, what made Hua and brother desperate was that his scout sentry quickly captured two Dongdu messengers, and found out the letters written by Wang Shichong to Li Mi from them, which once again confirmed that the news was probably true.

Chen Sangliang's reinforcements were indeed likely to arrive in Xin'an within five or six days to participate in the war.

He shouted and ordered the two unlucky messengers to bury them alive. Brother Hua Ji could only hurry up and gathered a group of confidants to discuss the response strategy. As a result, it was finally the turn of Brother Hua Ji and his group to be frowning, and they were all afraid of opening the third battlefield again.

It is difficult to deal with the beginning and end, and I am even more afraid that Chen Sangliang's front army will have the main army afterwards. They are all worried and worried. In the end, due to helplessness, Hua and his brother could only hurriedly order Xu Hongren to lead 5,000 troops to enter Xin'an City immediately

, blocked the exit of the hukou channel to buy time for the main army, and immediately set up an offensive matter and prepare to launch another fierce attack on Luokoucang.

Wang Shichong sent a total of three messengers to contact Li Mi. One of them was lucky enough to enter Luokoucang to meet Li Mi. It was also because Chen Sangliang had always had good credit and never broke his promise - he just liked to play tricks, and Li Mi also loosened.

He knew that he had been in a turn of time and was about to appear. Then our secret servant didn't even blink his eyelids and immediately ordered: "Prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for me, and then go to the camp to ask if anyone dares to do it for me.

Send a letter to Yu Wenhua and his wife? No matter who they dare to go, they will reward ten taels of gold, and come back alive and receive twenty taels of gold!"

"Duke Wei, why do you want to contact Yu Culture and contact us?" Chai Xiaohe asked curiously.

"Seeking peace is of course to ask for peace with him." Li Mi replied with a smile: "As long as Yu Wenhua and his husband agree to withdraw their troops, I would rather give him tens of stones of military rations."

"Seeking for peace?" Chai Xiaohe was shocked and said in surprise: "Donald Wei, why did you suddenly think of asking for peace? Yu Wen and every man could not agree?"

"Not necessarily." Li Mi sneered: "Chen Yingliang's little thief is about to send troops. Yu Wen and his men can definitely hear the wind. At this time, he asks him for peace. Even if he doesn't agree immediately, he will be moved. If he is moved, he will be moved, and what will happen in the future

It's easy to deal with."

"But how do you explain to the people of the world?" Chai He quickly reminded: "Even if you have an excuse to delay the military plan, if Yu Wenshi and the traitors in Chen Yingliang deliberately let Chen Yingliang know about this, with Chen's character, it must be

This is the reason to stop advancing, which will be even more unfavorable then?"

Chai Xiaohe reminded him that Li Mi realized that he was still too fucking. Chen Sangliang's reinforcements were still on the way, and he had not even finished his journey. At this time, his army was asking for peace from Yu Wenhua and his army, without a doubt.

Just give a handle to Chen Sangliang to capture Chen Sangliang. With Chen Sangliang's despicable personality, once he knows this, he will definitely use the excuse of destroying the alliance and breaking his trust in the army to stop advancing, and even return to the same route. So he considered

After a long time, Li Mi nodded and said, "Thanks to Xiaohe's reminder, this Gong almost made this confused. Well, let's put the peace for a while. Let's talk about it on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Although Chen Yingliang's little thief is treacherous,

We have always been confident and the agreed time will never be delayed. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yu Wenhua and the common man can confirm that Chen Yingliang's reinforcements have arrived in Xin'an."

After calling back the messenger to recruit the messenger to send death, Li Mi changed his words and ordered: "Announce the news of Chen Yingliang's reinforcements coming, and the time and strength are announced so that all our soldiers can know the good news. Besides, be a good guard.

The city is ready, Yu Culture and the common man are likely to be in a hurry to jump over the wall.”

The third enemy is about to arrive, and it is still the most terrifying and dangerous enemy. Of course, Brother Hua and Brother must be anxious to jump over the wall. On the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Brother Hua and Brother Hua once again launched a large-scale attack on Luokou Cang City, and the offensive was extremely fierce.

Crazy, five hundred supervisors lined up behind, and even if the siege soldiers took a step back, they would be executed immediately! However, the answer was Li Mijun's even more crazier and tenacious resistance. The soldiers of Li Mijun, who were motivated by the good news of reinforcements.

After one after another, he used his flesh and blood to resist the repeated attacks of Yuwen's army. After another, he was bleeding from his sword. The simple weapon was broken and he used stones and fists, and even used his teeth to fight back and transformed his brother's soldiers. In just one morning, there were nearly a hundred people.

Li Mi's soldiers hugged the enemy and rolled down the city wall, and died with Hua and his brother's soldiers.

Even more crazy, the fierce battle was still behind. In the afternoon, when Luokoucang was in a row, Li Mi's Yanyue City defenders suddenly came out in full swing. Under Gao Jifu's leadership, they launched a suicide charge against Yuwen's army, and ignited it when they left the fort.

The house warehouse in the fort directly destroyed the fort gate and left no retreat at all. The result was that one man worked hard, but ten men were hard to be. No matter how elite Xiaoguo Army was, it was difficult to withstand Gao Ji Fu's desperate attack. Gao Ji Fu's army rushed out of the defense line.

He made a gap and returned to Luokoucang City, and cooperated with the defenders to attack Hua and his brother's ant army.

More than a thousand Yanyue City defenders were able to flee back to Luokou Cang City under the support of friendly forces. Gao Jifu, including those who were killed by Xiaoguo soldiers, were dismembered from the body of the Xiaoguo army during the suicide charge, but Xiaoguo army

For this reason, more than a dozen ladder trucks that had approached Luokou Cang City were all destroyed by Gao Ji's auxiliary army, losing the most siege weapon to Luokou Cang City. At the same time, it also forced Hua and his brother to divide the troops.

Strengthen the surveillance of Heishi Fortress and Hulao Pass to avoid Sun Changle and Yang Jishan from doing this, so that Hua and his brother would cry.

The biggest blow to the Xiaoguo Army by Gao Ji's suicide charge was morale and psychology. Seeing such a crazy and desperate enemy, the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army were inevitably a little scared, and at the same time, they also understood that Li Mijun defended Luokoucang City.

The firm determination and lack of confidence and confidence in taking down Luokou Cang City. This is reflected on the battlefield. Of course, the combat effectiveness declines and the fighting spirit declines. Even if you dare not retreat, you dare not rush too busy. So Hua and brother are afraid of it.

The fierce attack was at the third update of the night, but still could not break through Luokou Cang. On the contrary, all the generals and soldiers were exhausted enough and their morale fell even further.

In the end, Yuwen Zhiji and Feng Deyi joined forces to hold Hua Ji brothers, saying that if they continue like this, they will not only be useless, but will only increase casualties in vain and affect the morale of the army. After much persuasion, Hua Ji brothers ordered them at the end of the third day.

After finally escaping the army, Li Mi, who had never sat down from the beginning of the war to the end of the war, once again collapsed on the city wall full of blood, with a smile on his face full of relief and murmur

He said: "Just get through, just get through, it's enough to survive this time. Yu Wenhe was unable to prepare a large number of siege weapons in a short period of time, so he couldn't siege again in the last three days.

.”

The Secret Duke slightly underestimated some of Huaji's determination. After giving the army a day off on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Huaji's brother had to launch a large-scale project when the weapons of large-scale siege were exhausted.

When he was dissuaded by his subordinates, Hua and his brother shouted, "We still have time to prepare weapons for siege? Tomorrow, maybe today, Chen Yingliang's reinforcements will arrive in Xin'an, we won't

Hurry up, how can I fight in the future?”

"But brother, you'd better go and see the army first." Yuwen Zhiji said with tears in his eyes: "You go and see the current situation of our soldiers. Do you think they can fight again?"

With Yu Wen Zhiji's repeated persuasion, Hua Ji's brother finally rarely left the commander's tent and bedroom tent and went to the camp to inspect the situation of the soldiers. As a result, Hua Ji's brother was speechless that his camp was already full of wounded soldiers.

It can be seen that countless Xiaoguo soldiers covered in mud were wearing summer clothes, crowded by the smoke-burning fire, and their faces were covered with fatigue and disappointment. Even if they saw Hua and brother approaching, they were almost nothing.

When the man stood up and saluted, even the middle and grassroots generals were in a daze with their hair hanging down. Hua and his brother came forward to encourage him with kindness. The answer to him was all weak slogans and endless low-pitched complaints.

If you continue to force this way, you may have to undergo a mutiny. Although Huaji, who was born in the general, understands this truth, so Huaji finally agreed to Yuwen Zhiji's suggestion and decided to let the army rest for a few more days and no longer

Forced attacks. As a result, of course, there were also the considerations of temporarily giving up the attack on Luokou Cang City. Some people even proposed to withdraw directly to Hanoi and survive this winter before considering how to advance.
