Wang Bodang heard Li Mi's words and finally said: "Mi Gong, although it may be a good idea for you to do this, have you ever considered what if, in the end, you end up getting burned?"
Li Mi smiled softly and said: "Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin and Cheng Yaojin are all people with great ambitions and ambitions. Even if we fail to win over them, it will be a failure at most and will not affect me."
After a pause, Li Mi continued: "When it comes to the war in Wagang, the three of them have an overall view and will not affect the frontline war just because of personal issues."
Uncle Wang said: "Since Duke Mi has decided, I won't say more. In short, I ask Duke Mi to think again."
Li Mi said: "I know."
Wang Bodang didn't say much and went down to rest.
Li Mi sat alone in the camp, thinking about the next plan.
When it comes to starting a war with Zhang Xutuo, he must not be careless. Even though Li Mi looked down on Zhang Xutuo in his heart and thought Zhang Xutuo was self-righteous and self-righteous, Li Mi would not be careless.
Li Mi is always cautious when doing things.
A night of silence.
The next day, early morning.
Li Mi led the army in the direction of Xiaoqinglong River early. When Li Mi rushed to Xiaoqinglong River, outside the camp at Wagang Village on the bank of the front line, there was a dark Sui army that was rapidly attacking.
The man in command behind the Sui army was Zhang Xutuo.
Originally, Zhang Xutuo was in trouble and at a disadvantage in the battle with the Wagangzhai army. Zhang Xu turned from offensive to defensive, and the situation was precarious. But with Wang Can's great victory in Liaodong, and Wang Can even went south in person, the wind direction
The sudden change greatly boosted the morale of the Sui army under his command, but on the other hand, the Wagangzhai side was affected.
Some forces that were attached to Wagang retreated one after another. Some soldiers in Wagang also fled quietly.
It was precisely like this that Zhang Xutuo reversed the situation.
As a veteran general on the battlefield, Zhang Xutuo was not willing to miss the opportunity. Especially since the Wagangzhai army was unstable, it was an excellent opportunity to counterattack, so Zhang Xutuo launched an attack brazenly.
Zhang Xutuo is wearing armor. He is now nearly fifty years old, and his hair and beard are all white. However, Zhang Xutuo is extremely tall and powerful in martial arts. Therefore, standing on the ground, his burly body is still like an iron tower, which makes people afraid.
underestimate.
With him in the rear, the Sui army would have a backbone.
Zhang Xutuo looked at the fighting on the battlefield and saw that the Sui army could not attack for a long time. He personally beat the war drum and loudly encouraged the attacking soldiers, and ordered the lieutenants of the army to attack quickly.
After Zhang Xutuo encouraged himself, he shouted from the rear: "My sons, the Imperial Army has led its troops south from Luoyang and is about to arrive in Henan. Before the Imperial Army arrived, we defeated the Wagangzhai army to prove our strength.
Power, sons and gentlemen, make great achievements, today, kill them!"
"kill!"
The officers and soldiers in the army, inspired by Zhang Xutuo, shouted loudly.
One by one, the soldiers kept shouting.
Originally, the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were attacking like a wave, but now, encouraged by Zhang Xutuo, they were even more ferocious and kept pushing forward. In a short time, they had already entered the camp.
The general in charge of the garrison is named You Junda.
This person is also a veteran of Wagang.
Youjunda led his army to resist. When he saw that the situation was unfavorable, his heart sank. Even though he still had a large army under his command, the Sui army today was extremely ferocious, which made Youjunda very difficult.
"General, we can't stop you."
At this moment, a young general ran over quickly. This young general's face was full of blood and his body was injured. He reported: "General You, let's retreat."
"General, we are coming in. The Sui army is coming in."
Another member of the primary school rushed over, stood beside You Junda, and opened his mouth to report.
One after another, more generals withdrew.
The generals who retreated one by one had worried looks on their faces, especially this one, they all lost their fighting spirit and no longer had the fighting spirit and courage to continue fighting.
You Junda sighed in his heart.
He was unwilling to retreat.
He also wanted to destroy the dog officials of the Sui Dynasty and the dog emperor Yang Guang.
But the reality is cruel.
Just when You Junda was about to withdraw his troops, suddenly, from behind the camp, a sentry quickly ran up to You Junda and shouted: "General You, our reinforcements are here, our reinforcements are here."
coming."
After You Junda heard this, he perked up and said, "Who, who came with the reinforcements."
"Lord Li Mi, he is Military Advisor Li, who came with the army himself."
The sentry who reported the news was extremely excited.
Now that Li Mi is in the army, he is quite prestigious. Many soldiers in the army respect Li Mi.
When You Junda heard the news reported by the sentry, he did not consider his respective factions, because now this battle has reached the most dangerous moment. Fortunately, Li Mi is here, so there is still a chance for this battle.
You Junda immediately sent an order to release the news of the arrival of Li Mi's army.
When the news came out, the Wagang soldiers who had originally wanted to retreat and were frightened by the Sui army suddenly felt as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. They all came back to life with full health and raised their swords to fight out again.
All soldiers, cheer up and continue to charge.
No one retreated anymore.
Because Li Mi is the backbone of the army.
When Li Mi came, the soldiers in Wagang Village were no longer afraid.
You Junda saw his soldiers cheering up, but he was not satisfied with this, and ordered again: "My sons, today is the day to defeat the enemy. Kill Zhang Xutuo, the opportunity is right in front of you. Kill, follow me and kill."
!”
You Junda raised his weapon and rushed out.
He took the lead and fought. After the news came out, the entire Wagang soldiers were even more excited. They all screamed and sprinted. If at the beginning, the Wagang soldiers defeated by Zhang Xutuo were a group of sheep, then today's group of Wagang soldiers
The soldiers were like a group of hungry wolves. Everyone kept sprinting and rushing forward.
As a result, the Sui army's powerful offensive was defeated in a short period of time.
The Sui troops entered the camp and were driven out.
Even the Wagang soldiers led by You Junda began to rush out and kill each Sui army. Originally, the Sui army's offensive was indeed becoming more fierce, but when many Sui army soldiers heard that Li Mi was coming, they
I also started to panic.
After all, Li Mi's army is coming and they can't resist it.
Although Wang Can is coming, the problem is that the army led by Wang Can has not arrived yet.
At present, the troops are insufficient and obviously unable to resist.
Zhang Xutuo was sitting at the rear, watching his soldiers retreat again and again. He saw that the situation was not good, and after sending someone to investigate, he learned that Li Mi had arrived behind Wagang and was about to launch an offensive.
Such news made Zhang Xutuo sigh in his heart.
He fought with You Junda, and he had a certain advantage in terms of strength between the two sides. However, Zhang Xutuo never expected that Li Mi would suddenly arrive at the frontline battlefield of Xiaoqinglong River from Wagang.
Zhang Xutuo's chance of winning disappeared.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Xutuo immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops without further delay.
"Retreat, retreat at full speed."
Zhang Xutuo shouted orders.
He cannot be fond of fighting.
Once the army led by Li Mi arrived, Zhang Xutuo would not be able to retreat at all. As the order to retreat was given, Zhang Xutuo turned around and retreated. His soldiers did not hesitate to fight and quickly left the battlefield.
When You Junda saw that Zhang Xutuo was about to withdraw, he was unwilling to do so. He led his troops to pursue him quickly. When You Junda started to pursue, Li Mi from behind had already led his troops to catch up and join him, and together with You Junda, he led his troops in pursuit.
Unfortunately, although You Junda and Li Mi retreated quickly, Zhang Xutuo also ran fast.
So much so that he failed to catch up with Zhang Xutuo.
In desperation, Li Mi ordered the withdrawal of troops.
After Li Mi retreated, the retreat speed of the army led by Zhang Xutuo slowed down slightly. After walking nearly twenty miles forward, Zhang Xutuo ordered to stop the retreat and began to rest on the spot and count his losses.
It didn't take long, and when all the losses were counted and reported to Zhang Xutuo, Zhang Xutuo's face immediately darkened and he said coldly: "In this battle, we actually lost more than 6,000 elites. It's disgusting, it's really disgusting!
"
Luo Shixin was a brave general under Zhang Xutuo. He was less than twenty years old, but he was extremely brave. He stood beside Zhang Xutuo and reported: "General, the reason why we suffered such heavy losses in this battle.
The reason is also because Li Mi intervened in the battlefield and worked with You Junda to cover up and kill us. If Li Mi hadn't participated in this battle, You Junda would be dead by now."
"well……"
Zhang Xutuo sighed.
He led his army in conquests in the east and west, and was invincible, rarely losing. However, Zhang Xutuo did not expect that his defeat in this battle would be so tragic, and he lost more than 6,000 soldiers.
"Report!"
At this moment, a sentinel came galloping from behind.
The sentinel quickly came to Zhang Xutuo and reported: "General, there is news from the rear that the army led by the national division is about to join us. It is estimated that there is at most an hour before we can join the army.
The divisions gather."
Zhang Xutuo said: "It's finally here."
When he said this, Zhang Xutuo's tone was a little regretful, but also a little relieved.
The reason for regret is that he failed to completely annihilate You Junda before Wang Can arrived, and failed to defeat the Wagang army stationed on the bank of the Xiaoqinglong River. The reason for sighing relieved is because now that the war with Wagang has begun, even if
Zhang Xutuo was good at fighting, but Zhang Xutuo didn't have much confidence in his heart.
So Zhang Xutuo's heart is actually quite complicated.
Zhang Xutuo said: "The army is resting on the spot and waiting. We are preparing to join the national army."
"yes!"
All the soldiers received their orders in unison.
The soldiers in the army were resting in place, and the injured soldiers also began to treat their injuries.
As time goes by little by little.
An hour, fleeting.
The army led by Wang Can came from Luoyang and finally arrived near the Xiaoqinglong River and joined Zhang Xutuo. Wang Can rode forward. He was wearing a white robe and looked past the embarrassed Sui soldiers.
Voice: "Who is Zhang Xutuo?"
"The last general, Zhang Xutuo, pays homage to the Imperial Master."
Zhang Xutuo immediately stepped forward and saluted.
