However, this is a bit difficult. Li Mi was born into a noble family and was extremely proficient in military affairs. There is no reason why he could not see this. The city walls must be well defended, and the Wagang army was several times more numerous than the Sui army. It would be difficult to capture it.
.
Fortunately, Ye Chen's main target is not these two lanes, but the third lane where he is, which is where the main force lies.
Without using any tactics or tactics, he directly ordered three thousand forwards to attack where Li Mi's troops were located in the center of Bianzhou City, followed closely by his fifteen thousand Chinese troops.
In fact, he wanted to lead the charge himself, but he was the general commanding the army after all, and he had to look like a general. It would be unreasonable to lead the charge by himself every time.
Three thousand forwards penetrated directly into the center of the city, forcing Li Mi to mobilize a large number of troops to intercept them. The streets, alleys, and the ruins caused by the demolition of some houses were crowded with troops. Although Bianzhou City was large, it had more than 100,000 troops.
It is also very crowded in the city.
In fact, a city usually does not have so many troops garrisoned. Before the war started, some troops were stationed outside the city, and they would only withdraw into the city when the battle was about to begin. Just like in Kyoto in the past, except for the Imperial Guards and the City Guards
, the Sixteenth Guards Forbidden Army and other central armies are mostly stationed outside the city and do not always stay in the capital.
Ye Chen didn't use any tactics at all and simply ran over him in the middle. Li Mi had to obediently move his troops back to fight him. The two sides started a fierce battle at the junction of the west and middle of the city.
Although the Sui army has fewer people, its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Wagang Army, which was mostly bandits and civilians not long ago. The Wagang Army was essentially a peasant uprising, and most of them were farmers. Its combat effectiveness can be imagined, even if Li Mi was among them.
If adult men are selected for long-term training, their combat effectiveness will still be much worse.
The three thousand forward Sui troops were like a sharp knife thrusting into the Wagang army. Ye Chen, a middle man in the middle army, held a token in his hand and ordered in a deep voice:
"Boyu!"
Immediately an armored general stepped forward and handed over:
"The end is here!"
"You lead three thousand men to attack the left and cover the forward."
"Here!"
The general took the token and turned around without any hesitation.
"Gao Qiu, you lead three thousand people to attack the right side and cover the forward!"
"The last general takes command!"
Another tall general took the order and left.
Ye Chen looked at Dugu Zhan on his left hand again and said:
"Dugu Zhan, you will be in charge of the central army, pay attention to the front and rear, and provide reinforcements at any time. I will personally meet with Li Mi for a while."
Dugu Zhan nodded and accepted the order.
After the combat meeting ended, Ye Chen took 2,000 troops to support the forward, leaving 7,000 troops in the central army, ready to respond at any time.
Rushing to the front line, the battle was getting close to intense at this time. Unknown how many Wagang troops formed a dense human wall and pressed out of the city. Although the Sui troops were brave, the numerical gap was too big, and they were still suppressed and retreated. Ye
Chen rushed over, cut him down in a straight line with a knife from far away, and rushed his horse into the wall of people. In an instant, broken limbs were flying, blood was spilled on the ground, and screams were heard.
The sword in his hand came from Yang Gong's treasure house. After he took the Evil Emperor's relic and left the treasure house, the Sui Dynasty finally snatched the treasure house. After Ye Chen was worshiped as a general, Yang Guang rewarded him with this magic weapon.
The handle of this broadsword is nearly three meters long, and the blade is about one meter long. The total length of four meters cannot be used by ordinary generals. Only those with extremely majestic figures are suitable for use. In Ye Chen's hand, this broadsword is as light as nothing, and he can reach out to grab it.
With a sweeping sweep of the sword hilt, all the Wagang soldiers within a nine-meter-diameter radius centered on him were swept away or cut in half, clearing a large area in an instant.
The strength of these Wagang troops was so weak that they were not even regular soldiers. Ye Chen had to kill several of them before he could occasionally gain some potential points, which was very inefficient.
But there is no way. Mosquito legs are also meat, which is better than nothing. If you want more potential points, you can only kill those officers with a certain degree of force. No matter how big or small, officers can harvest potential points. If they are some masters in the army,
The harvest will be higher, just like the Cheng Yaojin killed before, one person contributed more than 200 potential points.
He swept across with a large knife and cut open the outer wall of a house next to the street. Blood spurted out from the gap. Someone was hiding inside and stabbed someone. He cut off the pillars of the house with this knife, and the house collapsed immediately. There were rumors inside.
Lai screamed, and a dozen Wagang soldiers who were hiding inside and shooting arrows escaped.
There must be civilians in Bianzhou City, and the melee between the two sides in the city will definitely affect civilians. Ye Chen can only order his men not to kill civilians intentionally, but there is nothing he can do if they are accidentally injured in the melee. The two armies are fighting in full swing, how can they control it?
many.
Although he never killed civilians, he was not a pedantic person either.
Killing all the way along the central main street, the street was full of stumps. As long as he cut it with one slash, it would be severed in two. The attack range of the four-meter-long sword was extremely wide, covering almost half of the street.
Arrows kept shooting at him, but the arrows shot at him were like hitting a stone statue, they all bounced away. Even if they hit his eyes, they couldn't even penetrate his eyelids.
In less than half an hour, he walked through the entire street alone. Behind him were corpses. Looking up and blocking the front were layers of Wagang troops. His eyes passed through the thick military formations, less than a mile away.
Inside and outside is the city lord's palace, which is also the Wagang Army camp where Li Mi is located.
As if feeling his gaze, Li Mi, who was convening the generals for discussion, suddenly raised his head, with a cold look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"I have made up my mind, do as I say!"
Xu Shiji on the side advised:
"Master Mi, please think twice. If you succeed, it will be fine. If you fail, you may lose all morale and be completely defeated!"
Li Mi's eyes were cold and he said in a cold voice:
"If we don't get rid of him, what morale will we have left? We will be shattered by him bit by bit, and we will be defeated in the end."
"However, even if Mi Gong can kill him by doing this, it will also chill the hearts of his soldiers!"
Li Mi suddenly turned his head to look at him and said word by word:
"Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters."
Without waiting for Xu Shiji to say anything, he waved his hand:
"Stop talking and do as I say!"
Xu Shiji opened his mouth, looked at his other colleagues, finally sighed and stopped talking.
After coming out of the camp, Li Mi's military advisor Shen Luoyan suddenly called him aside. She gently adjusted his collar and said softly:
"The Secret Duke was still unwilling, so he asked him to try again. If he failed again, it would be too late to withdraw his troops. Now that he is angry, don't contradict him."
Xu Shiji reached out and held her hand and said:
"However, if Mi Gong does this, it will chill the hearts of his soldiers. Once the people's hearts are lost, failure is not far away!"
Shen Luoyan suddenly laughed and said:
"The human heart? What is the human heart? Only the victors have the human heart. What is the use of the loser keeping the human heart? If we can kill the Sui army commander and defeat the Sui army, Mi Gong can take the opportunity to march westward and capture it in one fell swoop.
In Xingyang, Zhengzhou, we captured Hulao Pass and marched towards Luoyang. At that time, people's hearts will naturally come."
Her plausive words left Xu Shiji speechless. He didn't know what to say and finally sighed heavily.
