Chapter 721

: Resistance

Chen Pojun stood on the building of the enemy's clouds, motionless like a sculpture.

On the Black Rock Beach, the once fertile fields have now become a hell of death. The dark clouds are low, the smoke is filled with smoke and dust, and the air is filled with arrows of smoke and pain.

The battlefield for dozens of miles was filled with the breath of death, and even the entire Luoshui was burning. On the battlefield, there were broken horizontal swords, spears, arrow feathers inserted in the soil, and the bodies of the dead soldiers who were buried everywhere, as well as the Black Stone Beach Plain stained with blood.

The majestic power of fierce tinder oil can not only turn soldiers into torches, but even the fertile land can burn.

The once tall and strong fortress Yanshi City opposite, it had been razed to the ground at this time. The piles of ruins, bricks and rubble seemed to be able to see that a strong city had once stood here.

The once wide moat had been filled with corpses, and it looked more like a mass pit. The harsh turbulent oil fell into the mass pit, burning waves of black smoke, and for days, emitting waves of stench.

The hot wind blew his crimson cloak and whipped it to his tough face, but he didn't want to avoid it. He vaguely felt the soldiers on the front line cheering, but could not speak out to join. The victory was only halfway through, which was not enough.

Another dense projectile car was launched, and countless fierce tinder exploded in the opponent's position. Amid the explosions, black pot fragments flew everywhere, and beautiful sparks with crimson glow flew brilliantly in the air, sprinkling everywhere in the battlefield. The low clouds were dyed with the colors of flames, and the crimson of different shades covered the sky. They were weirdly beautiful and terrible, just like the legendary dragon flame. The ultimate beauty was death.

The light of the explosion forced people to cover their eyes, and the flames danced in the air, crackling and sizzling, overwhelming all screams. Hundreds of people were filled with people, either splitting their bodies by bursting tiles, catching fire, or both.

The general who has been through the battle formation has long been used to hearing all kinds of screams and seeing all kinds of miserable appearances. For the general, he will become numb after a long time. Chen Pojun stared into the distance, and he knew that Li Mi must be standing there behind the Wei army formations one after another. Li Mi was somewhat similar to him on the battlefield. Generally, he stood behind the formation and personally commanded the final reserve team. He would not go to the battlefield personally. Unless he reached the last moment, Li Mi would not rush to the front line.

At this moment, Li Mi may be wearing bright armor and a crown on the horse's back. It was a red gold crown. Chen Pojun once heard from the people from the Special Service Department.

When the war reached this point, Li Mi had indeed been determined to die.

On that day, Chen Pojun led his army to Luokou, first annihilated 20,000 troops behind Li Mi's palace, and then sent light cavalry to catch up with Li Mi. Just before Li Mi was defeated, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji led the light cavalry to the battlefield to repel Qin Qiong's three generals and responded to Li Mi. But then, just as Li Mi and others were about to withdraw from Yanshi, Wang Xuanying's more than 10,000 light cavalry arrived on the battlefield again.

The Hebei Light Cavalry, the Jianghuai Light Cavalry, Li Mi's Light Cavalry and the Baihua Valley's Light Cavalry came to support the entire Central Plains region and most of the cavalry in Hebei and Shandong, and broke out.

As the elite of the three elites of Wei, Chen and Zheng, more than 50,000 cavalrymen started a melee, fighting from early morning to afternoon until they were exhausted, and the two armies had not decided the outcome.

In the afternoon, Chen Pojun, Li Jing, Wang Xuanying and Zhang Zhongjian led a 120,000 coalition army to the battlefield and joined the battle. The situation on the battlefield changed instantly, and Li Mi's army retreated step by step, which was difficult to resist.

Li Mi's army fought and retreated, Chen and Zheng's coalition forces pursued them all the way, Li Mi lost his troops and lost his generals, and the Wei army buried his corpses all the way along.

Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, Wang Bodang, Xie Yingdeng, Xu Yuanlang, and Meng Haigong's six generals, had only less than 30,000 troops left, and more than half of them were lost. The six generals led these cavalry to escort Li Mi all the way to retreat. More than 60,000 infantry in the Wei army retreated to death, but under the impact of Hebei cavalry and Jianghuai cavalry, they were either dead or captured.

At dusk, Wang Dangren, Yang Defang and other generals finally arrived at the battlefield with the gathering of 160,000 troops.

Li Mi and Wang Dangren joined forces, and the two armies joined 200,000 troops, and finally barely stabilized the formation. The two armies fought for a day and were exhausted. Chen and Zheng coalition forces also retreated to form a formation. Li Mi was able to slowly retreat into Yanshi City and take a break.

When he retreated into Yanshi City, listening to the reports of the generals, and hearing that Yanshi had gathered all the last troops of Wei at this time, Li Mi felt as if he was dead. He had 200,000 soldiers, but if the water in them were removed, there would be only about 100,000 people who were really difficult to fight. In less than half a month, the Wei State, which had more than ten counties in the Central Plains and had 600,000 troops, reached this point, which made Li Mi not surprised.

However, looking at the tall and strong Yanshi City, Li Mi was still lucky in the face of the letter of persuasion sent by Chen Pojun. He still had a last glimmer of hope. He also had reinforcements, Southern Chen and Northern Yan. The two countries had hundreds of thousands of troops, and the three countries had millions of troops. They could not defeat the coalition forces on the front, so Li Mi simply ordered the four gates to be closed and could not come out, waiting for reinforcements.

Li Mi's abacus was good, but Chen Pojun did not give him such a chance.

After a night of rest, before dawn, Chen and Zheng coalition forces suddenly launched an attack on Yanshi.

When the Wei army fought, they played the tactics of the sea of ​​people. When the Hebei army attacked the city, they fought the tactics of the firearms.

The overwhelming gunpowder, crossbow arrows, stone bombs, and various firearms, without capital-like saturation attacks, made the fortress Yanshi, which Li Mi had been running for a long time, constantly breaking down every moment. In less than an hour, the coalition forces cleared various obstacles around the city, and then quickly filled the moat.

Before dawn, the coalition forces had already poured all kinds of long-range firepower onto the Yanshi city wall. The large iron crossbow with its thick arm shot from the crane crossbow could directly knock the battlements away with each strike. The improved heavy catapult cart could directly project a 50-pound huge rock to the top of the city every time.

The coalition's offensive was like a tide, and the defenders at the top of Li Mi City suffered heavy casualties, and twelve batches of guards were replaced in one day. However, when Li Mi was about to replace the 13th batch of guards to the city, the engineers of the Hebei Army had already used the tunnel to dig under the city wall, and placed a large number of gunpowder barrels in several locations, directly blowing out several large gaps in the city wall.

Then countless coalition forces rushed into Yanshi City like a tide and broke through the outer wall. Li Mi had to retreat to the inner city to defend!

However, after Li Mi retreated to the inner city, he did not last long. Yanshi's inner city was taller than the outer city, and the four walls were much shorter, allowing Li Mi to arrange more troops to defend. However, since the coalition forces broke through Yanshi's outer city, capturing the inner city was just a picture of the cat and tiger.

Two days later, the inner city of Yanshi was once again captured. After three days of death, Li Mi's 200,000 coalition forces lost more than 50,000 troops. This was the result of Li Mi arresting all the young people in Yanshi City to the top of the city to help defend the city.

After the city was broken, Li Mi led the remaining 150,000 Wei troops back again, retreated to Luokou, Jiushan, and relied on the terrain to form a formation behind the mountains, facing the Black Stone Plain to set up a camp, waiting for reinforcements.

However, for Chen Pojun, it was time for him to pursue the enemy with courage and not to seek fame as a master. How could he miss such a good opportunity to beat the dogs in the water? After the Hebei Army destroyed Yanshi City, he took advantage of the situation to pursue and confronted the Wei army again in the Black Stone Plain.

Li Mi was completely surrounded by Chen Pojun in Luokou. All the troops of Wei were concentrated here, and there were no reinforcements. Even the 10,000 defenders of Jin Yong were summoned by Li Mi. In addition to the 10,000 reinforcements, along the way, Li Mi also brought a large number of young and strong people.

After surrounding Li Mi, Chen Pojun and Wang Xuan launched three attacks against Li Mi's camp. However, at this time, Li Mi fought against the enemy and fought to the death, which aroused his desire to be desperate. Li Mi also knew that there was no way out at this time, so he simply decided to fight with Chen Kefu to the end.

The Wei army and the people who were bound by them had a total of 300,000 people surrounded Luokou. Although Li Mi took away all the food and grass from Yanshi when he evacuated from Yanshi, he could only last for ten days for the supply of 300,000 troops.

If Nanchen and Beiyan cannot arrive for rescue within ten days, then the Wei army will starve to death even if they are not captured by the coalition forces in the end.

The news that the Wei army had little food was long ago been learned by Chen Pojun. After three attacks, the Wei army's desperate counterattack caused great casualties to the coalition forces, and even copied the degree of casualties of the previous half month. Faced with such a situation, Wang Xuan of the Jianghuai Army took the lead in proposing to siege and not fight, and would directly wait for the Wei army's rations to be exhausted and win without fighting.

Chen Pojun certainly understood Wang Xuanying's proposal, and this plan was indeed good. However, behind this proposal, there was actually a different meaning. In this battle in the Central Plains, the Jianghuai Army was originally just a feint to attack Luokou, but it became the main force in fighting with the Wei army. Although the Jianghuai Army showed their hidden strength, the casualties of the Jianghuai Army were also very high. Until now, the Jianghuai Army had 100,000 troops killed more than 30,000 people. If there were serious injuries and disabilities, there were nearly 10,000 people.

In this battle, the elite troops of the Jianghuai Army, the Jianghuai Light Cavalry and the Jianghuai Heavy Cavalry suffered great casualties. On the other hand, the Hebei Army also dispatched 130,000 troops, but in fact, they fought some battles with raids, with few casualties and countless benefits.

The Wei Kingdom, the common enemy of the Jianghuai Army and the Hebei Army, is about to perish. Chen Pojun and Wang Xuanying, who are fighting side by side, have also begun their post-war planning.

The smoke of gunpowder filled the battlefield, and the smell of blood was everywhere. The three armies of Zheng, Chen and Wei on the battlefield were like three huge beasts, engaging in the final battle of life and death. Until the failed party shed the last drop of blood, the battle will never end.
