Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Although Li Mi suffered a tragic victory at Tongji Canal, he still had more than 200,000 troops in his hands due to the surrender of the Xiaoguo Army, of which about 100,000 were capable of fighting.
For Li Mi, Huang Mingyuan¡¯s move south was a huge challenge, but it was also an opportunity.
Just like how he stepped on Zhang Xutuo's corpse to ascend to power, as long as he can defeat Huang Mingyuan today, his reputation will spread all over the country and abroad, and when the time comes, all people's hearts will belong to him alone.
With 200,000 vs. 100,000, and with both sides having about the same strength, Li Mi did not think he would be defeated by Huang Mingyuan.
It must be said that Li Mi has been a confident and arrogant person since he was a child.
At the beginning, because of his integrity, he could not surrender to Huang Mingyuan, but today, he dared to bet on the outcome of this battle.
So Li Mi also wrote back and told Huang Mingyuan that he had also built a house for Huang Mingyuan in Xingluocang and was waiting for Huang Mingyuan to move in.
On October 15, Li Mi dispatched troops and generals, with Bing Yuanzhen stationed at Xingluocang, Wang Bodang stationed at Yanshi, Zheng Ting stationed at Gongxian, and the rest of the army attacked and went straight to Jinyong City.
The decisive battle has begun.
In fact, before this battle, there were actually a lot of disputes within Wei State about how to fight this battle.
No matter what, Huang Mingyuan¡¯s reputation and strength are really scary.
Therefore, Pei Renji suggested that since the Sui army took the initiative to ask for war, they should stick to the city and not engage in a decisive battle with the Sui army. On the one hand, the main force was in a stalemate with the Sui army, and on the other hand, taking advantage of the emptiness of Luoyang, they sent good generals and elite troops to attack the eastern capital, forcing Huang Mingyuan to return for reinforcements, making him tired from running for his life, and then chose an opportunity to defeat the enemy.
But this is a bit taken for granted. Regardless of whether Huang Mingyuan will divide his troops for rescue, the key is that Li Mi does not dare to divide his troops. In the battle of Tongji Canal, his direct lineage suffered heavy casualties and were unable to divide their troops at this time. Without elite troops, it is not possible to attack Luoyang City.
At the same time, Li Mi's adviser Wei Zheng suggested that the best thing to do is to stand firm and wait for work.
In Wei Zheng¡¯s view, the two sides seemed to have similar military strength, but in fact their strength was much different. Let's just stick to it and don't think about what we have and what we don't have.
In fact, Wei Zheng¡¯s suggestion is more in line with Li Mi¡¯s ideas. Li Mi knew his situation very clearly. The current Western Wei army is actually not suitable for a decisive battle.
But Li Mi also knows that Huang Mingyuan is best at dividing and disintegrating, and defeating them one by one. If he doesn't take the initiative to fight and wait for Huang Mingyuan to attack one by one, it won't be long before there will be no stronghold west of Hulao Pass.
Defending is doomed to failure, but fighting may be possible.
So in the end, Li Mi could only fight decisively, which was considered to be no solution.
However, Li Mi set the main battlefield in Beimang Mountain.
Huang Mingyuan's command has always been known for its large number and elite cavalry. If the two sides fight in an open plain, Li Mi will definitely lose.
Therefore, Li Mi set the main battlefield in Beiman Mountain, waiting for Huang Mingyuan to attack to offset the advantage of his cavalry.
On the other side, in order to prevent Huang Mingyuan from making a detour to attack, Li Mi ordered Shan Xiongxin to lead his troops to set up camp in Yanshi City, forming a horned force with Zheng Tong's troops.
In Li Mi¡¯s plan, Beimang Mountain Camp, Yanshi and Luokou Cang were arranged in a triangle to rescue and rely on each other.
And after Huang Mingyuan in Jinyong City saw Li Mi's formation, he could see Li Mi's purpose at a glance.
However, Huang Mingyuan always takes the initiative when fighting, rather than being led by the opponent. So since Li Mi wants to fight in Beimang Mountain, Huang Mingyuan will not go along with it.
Huang Mingyuan's first step was to order Zhang Zhenzhou to lead the Jinyong City defenders and Hujie Guard officers to attack Yanshi City and attack Shan Xiongxin outside Yanshi City.
It has to be said that Li Mi¡¯s order of Shan Xiongxin to station troops in the north of Yanshi City was definitely his biggest failure, even if it had been replaced by Xu Shiji. 强牺 kenshufang.com 读牺
Shan Xiongxin was originally the second in charge of Wagang Village, and he joined Wagang Village as a major shareholder. That's why he and Xu Shiji had the strength to force Zhai to give way to Li Mi.
But after Li Mi became the boss of Wagang, Shan Xiongxin's status declined instead of rising, and he was far inferior to the newly demoted Pei Renji and others.
"And after Li Mi killed Zhai Rang, Xu Shiji was wounded by the rebels. Shan Xiongxin kowtowed to Li Mi and begged for mercy, which was a huge loss of face. Fang Yanzao persuaded Li Mi to kill Shan Xiongxin because he gave in easily. However, Li Mi rejected the suggestion because he cherished Shan Xiongxin's talent.
But in any case, there was a huge rift between the two sides.
Although Li Mi also used Shan Xiongxin very seriously, Shan Xiongxin has always been resentful of him.
Therefore, Shan Xiongxin did not try his best from the beginning when he fought with Wang Shichong.
Especially in the previous battle of Tongji Canal, Li Mi fought hard, but Shan Xiongxin's reinforcements were close at hand, but they were late for most of the day and almost killed Li Mi.
It can be said that before this battle, Shan Xiongxin had completely separated from Li Mi, and would betray each other only for an opportunity. This time k ens*hufa*ng.c om Zhang Si
It¡¯s just that this time Li Mi really had no one available, and at the critical moment, he had to arrange for Shan Xiong to guard the Yanshi camp. After all, Shan Xiongxin has more than ten thousand Wagang old troops, all of whom are elite.
In order to make Shan Xiongxin do his best, Li Mi also made Shan Xiongxin the Duke of Jiyin. (Shan Xiongxin¡¯s hometown, the second brother Shan is not from Shanxi, but from Caoxian County, Shandong)
It has to be said that Li Mi has done his best to Shan Xiongxin.
"It's a pity that Shan Xiongxin didn't appreciate Li Mi's goodness at all, or he didn't care about him.
Jinyong City is not far from Yanshi, almost forty miles away. The Sui army could reach here with a forced march.
Zhang Zhenzhou left Meng and Chen Qi to set up ambushes along the way, and he and Chang Yunqing attacked Yanshi City and Yanshi Camp respectively, making it impossible to take care of both the head and tail.
There are not many defenders in Yanshi City, but there are more than 10,000 Shan Xiongxin in the Yanshi camp.
Zhang Zhenzhou led his army to attack fiercely, and soon the opponent was beaten back continuously. In the end, Shan Xiongxin had tens of thousands of troops stationed in the camp and did not fight with the Sui army.
Zhang Zhenzhou quickly realized that Shan Xiongxin was deliberately avoiding the battle.
Logically speaking, Shan Xiongxinbu, as the main diversionary force, can only exert his diversionary effect more fiercely if he fights harder. It would be better for him to retreat instead of advancing, so what can he do to contain the Sui army.
But this also saves Zhang Zhenzhou a lot of trouble.
Although we don¡¯t know Shan Xiongxin¡¯s intention, if Shan Xiongxin can¡¯t move here, the Sui army can calmly attack Yanshi City. Yanshi Camp relies on Yanshi City for its existence. Once the city is destroyed, there is no need for Yanshi Camp to exist.
The battle continued for almost half an hour, and Shan Xiongxin asked deputy general Huang Junhan to send people to Li Mi's camp to ask for help.
Asking for help?
Huang Junhan was a little stunned. Although the Sui army appeared relatively suddenly, although the Yanshi camp had abandoned its outer defense lines to stick to the camp, and although the battle situation was a bit anxious, at this moment, there was no need for the three armies to ask Li Mi for help.
Huang Junhan looked at Shan Xiongxin, but Shan Xiongxin turned away without saying a word.
Shan Xiong believed it or not, and Huang Junhan had no way to ask, so he had to follow the order.
But looking at Shan Xiongxin like this, Huang Junhan's heart was full of doubts. What on earth is this second brother Shan (who is sworn in second place with Zhai Rang) going to do? Zhida z.com Zhixiao
