Chapter 177: The fall of Wagang, the death of Li Mi, Wang Shichong's worries, the end of Yu Wenzhi, the Ming Dynasty's honorable teachings
Wei County.
Yu Wenzhi was wearing a dragon robe and standing in front of the Golden Throne Hall with his hands behind his back. Four eunuchs were standing in the distance behind him.
"Your Majesty, the Tianqin Army has already reached Luoyang thirty miles away, and the Wagang Army still hasn't been able to capture Luoyang. It seems that they are preparing to retreat to Hulao or Xingyang!"
At this moment, a young general wearing armor and with extraordinary aura came quickly and bowed to Yu Wenzhi to report.
"The Qin army attacks Luoyang"
Yu Wenzhi frowned deeply.
The situation was very unfavorable for his Xu State.
Although Li Mi failed to capture Luoyang, the Tian Qin Army arrived. As far as he knew, this was a more powerful rebel army than the current Wagang. Moreover, the flying knife of Qin Shuang, the marshal of the Tian Qin Army, could blow up the city.
There is no need to forcibly attack the city like Wagang did.
By the time.
He used a flying knife to blow up the city, and the army marched straight in, and Luoyang couldn't stop it at all.
"Your Majesty, recently, a lot of the Xiaoguo Army has fled again."
Yuwen Zhiji looked at His Majesty Yuwen Huaji and said fearfully.
"How much is left?"
Yu Wenzhi's expression remained unchanged and he asked in a calm tone.
"There are still less than eight thousand left."
At this moment, Yuwen Zhiji had no confidence in the future of Xu State at all.
Last half month.
More than 2,000 soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army fled, leaving less than 8,000 soldiers of the Xu State. The people were in panic. As long as the enemy launched a large-scale attack, they would probably be defeated.
"My Yuwen clan is one of the four great clans. How did we end up in such a situation?"
Yu Wenzhi looked into the distance, a hint of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.
The same aristocratic family.
The Li clan took Chang'an, the Song clan has lived in Lingnan for generations, and the Dugu clan has power in both Luoyang and Chang'an, which is also remarkable. Yu Wenzhi controls an army of 100,000 brave soldiers and can be said to have a good hand of dice. How did he end up like this?
Luoyang City, thirty-five miles away.
Qin Shuang sat upright on a Ferghana horse, with Zhai Jiao, Tu Shufang, Kankan and others behind him, as well as the densely packed Tian Qin army.
As for Zhuge Cheng, Shen Luoyan, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and others, they have all been sent out by Qin Shuang!
"Report, report to the Marshal, the Wagang Army has been attacking Luoyang for a long time and has suffered heavy casualties. Li Mi has begun to retreat and wants to withdraw to Xingyang!"
Just then, a spy came quickly and reported respectfully.
"Have we started retreating? I'm afraid it'll be a bit difficult!"
Qin Shuang looked in the direction of Luoyang, with a slight smile on his face.
He knew that Li Mi had no choice but to do so, otherwise he would be attacked from all sides.
only.
Qin Shuang had anticipated this and had already dispatched Zhuge Cheng, Shen Luoyan and many generals in advance to lead troops to ambush Li Mi on the road he was about to escape. He not only wanted to capture Luoyang.
Moreover, Li Mi must be defeated in one fell swoop!
Establish your capital in the south, and then have a decisive battle with Li Shimin!
At this moment, a black divine eagle slowly landed on Zhai Jiao's shoulder. Zhai Jiao took a wax scroll from the divine eagle's claws, opened it and looked at it for a while, then stepped forward and respectfully clasped her fists towards Qin Shuang. "Marshal, there is a letter from General Shan!"
After Zhai Jiao finished speaking, she handed over the wax scroll.
"it is good!"
Qin Shuang looked at the letter in his hand with satisfaction in his eyes.
The letter was sent by Shan Xiongxin. What he said in his heart was that Li Mi had committed injustice in killing Zhai Rang and marginalizing the old Wagang soldiers. He was willing to lead his 60,000 new soldiers to surrender to the Tianqin Army.
and.
Another Wagang defender, Bing Yuanzhen, was also willing to lead 8,000 Wagang troops to surrender to the Tianqin army.
Fifteen miles outside Luoyang city.
Li Mi, wearing silver armor, led 40,000 soldiers and horses, like a long snake formation, and marched towards Xingyang.
Behind Li Mi were generals such as Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, Pei Renji, Xu Shiji, Zu Junyan, Yang Defang, and Zheng Detao.
now.
The morale of the Wagang Army was extremely low, and even the Wagang battle flag was raised listlessly.
After attacking Luoyang for so long, they suffered heavy casualties and many soldiers were injured. Now the Tian Qin Army was approaching from behind, so they could only retreat back to Xingyang in disgrace with the remaining 40,000 troops.
"Cheng Yaojin!"
Li Mi looked at the mountain path in the distance, thought for a moment, and spoke in a deep voice.
"My lord, I am here!"
Cheng Yaojin, holding an axe in his hand, rode forward, hung the axe on the horse's back, and respectfully clasped his fists to Li Mi.
"You lead a thousand soldiers to clear the way!"
Li Mi knew that at this time, he should be more cautious when retreating to Xingyang.
"Yes"
Cheng Yaojin nodded in agreement but did not turn around.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Suddenly, a group of heavy cavalry in black armor rushed out from the forest a few miles away on the right, and their shouts of killing shook the sky!
This group of heavy cavalrymen were covered in black armor, with only two eye sockets left on their faces. Even the horses under their crotch were covered in armor. These heavy cavalrymen were like a black whirlwind, especially the two leading generals, whose swords and spears were powerful.
Several large flags fluttered in the wind.
It was the flag of the Tianqin Army!
"It's the Tianqin Army!"
Generals such as Cheng Yaojin were all shocked, and many Wagang troops resisted.
However, Li Mi's troops formed a long snake formation and retreated towards Xingyang, but were instantly divided into two by the Qin elite soldiers of the Tian Qin Army.
at the same time.
A troop of soldiers came pouring in from the hill on the left!
And ten miles further away, another group of soldiers rushed out and blocked the way of the Wagang Army!
"Fight out with me!"
Seeing this, Li Mi did not hesitate to lead his generals, holding a spear, to charge to the left front. Because the troops there were relatively weak, he planned to meet up with Shan Xiongxin who was guarding Hulao Pass, and then return to Xingyang.
Waves of earth-shaking shouts and cries of killing swept across the world.
After this charge, there were only about 20,000 soldiers and horses that followed Li Mi out.
When Li Mi led nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses to the front of Hulao Pass after untold hardships, he saw that the city was densely populated with archers and soldiers were ready for battle. His subordinate Shan Xiongxin stood on the city wall with a golden-nailed Zaoyang Spear, looking grim.
"General Shan, open the city gate!"
Li Mi rode his horse at the foot of the city and shouted loudly.
"Cum for me!"
Shan Xiongxin waved his hand, and suddenly, arrows rained down from the city wall like locusts. The soldiers behind him raised a big flag, which was the flag of the "Tian Qin Army"!
"Shan Xiongxin, I treated you well, why did you betray me?"
Li Mi was startled and rode his horse back, looking at Shan Xiongxin and said sternly.
"Mi Gong, the leader treated you like a brother, but you killed him for power. You are so unjust, maybe one day you will kill us too. Also, you marginalized us, the old members of Wagang, and we have tolerated you for a long time!"
"You are doomed, prepare to die!"
Shan Xiongxin pointed his halberd at Li Mi and cursed loudly.
"Oh no, Mi Gong, behind me!"
At this moment, Zu Junyan beside Li Mi suddenly spoke and pointed to the left behind him.
"What?" Li Mi turned around and looked behind him, only to see two troops emerging from the dense forest about eight miles behind him, with flags flying. They came rushing forward with shouts of killing that shook the sky. It was the Tian Qin Army.
"Kill out!"
Li Mi only felt his scalp tingling, and he led his troops and rushed back the way they came.
"Whoever kills Li Mi will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"
"Those who surrender to the Tian Qin Army will not be killed!"
At this moment, Li Mi heard that a group of thousands of soldiers rushed out from the front, led by a man wearing golden armor, riding a Ferghana horse, holding a sharp sword in his hand, and charging towards them with sword energy!
A terrifying murderous intent enveloped Li Mi!
"Qin Shuang!"
Li Mi looked at the person coming and was immediately shocked.
Although he had never met Qin Shuang, the Marshal of the Tianqin Army, he had already found out a lot about Qin Shuang's image!
at this time.
Zu Junyan, Xu Shiji and many other generals and soldiers surrounded Li Mi and escorted him to the left hillside.
"laugh!"
At this moment, Qin Shuang, who was rushing towards him from the front, waved his hand and shot out three blue rays!
"Boom boom boom!"
The next moment.
Fifty feet away from Li Mi, there was a terrifying energy, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the soldiers' broken limbs and arms were flying everywhere. Three large pits with a radius of six feet and a depth of more than two feet appeared on the spot. The edges of the pits were covered with frost. A terrifying icy air swept across the whole place!
It was amazing to see that the flying knife wielded by the divine sword Qin Shuang had such terrifying power.
Many of the already exhausted Wagang troops were frightened. Many of them could not escape, nor did they want to escape. They simply dropped their weapons and stood still. Only Li Mi led more than 2,000 elite troops and fled along the mountain path on the left towards Xingyang.
"Where are you going, Li Mi?"
Qin Shuang displayed his perfect light body skills, jumped off the horse and chased after Li Mi. No one could stop him with the long sword in his hand!
Catch up closely.
Qin Shuang shot out true energy from his toes, stepped on the heads of the Wagang soldiers, and rushed forward like lightning, with the long sword in his hand sweeping continuously.
As Qin Shuang used his sword energy, he activated the Heaven and Earth Return to Origin technique. He even felt that his body could absorb the tiny bit of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi from between Heaven and Earth to replenish the consumption of his true Qi!
Soon, Qin Shuang was less than thirty feet away from Li Mi, and he swung his hand and three flying knives came out.
Rumble!
The force of the sword was so powerful that three huge pits with a radius of six zhang appeared ten zhang behind Li Mi. All the soldiers in them were blown to death, and their limbs and arms flew everywhere!
"Could it be that it is God's will to destroy me, Li Mi?"
Li Mi used his Qinggong skills to escape desperately. Qin Shuang behind him was getting closer and closer. He felt his scalp tingling and despair in his heart.
His martial arts were no match for Qin Shuang's, his subordinates betrayed him, and even the military advisor Shen Luoyan, whom he had always relied on, betrayed him.
Even if they escaped back to Xingyang, what could they use to fight against the Qin army?
Just as Li Mi was galloping, he felt a golden shadow flash above his head. He looked suddenly and saw Qin Shuang, the marshal of the Tian Qin army, standing three feet away with a long sword in his hand, looking at him leisurely.
at the same time.
Li Mi only felt a pain in his arms. He looked down and found that both of his arms were broken off at the shoulders!
"what!!!"
Li Mi groaned in pain and fell to his knees!
"Secret Master!"
"Secret Master!"
Behind Li Mi, Zu Junyan, Xu Shiji and others exclaimed in unison, and each of them looked alert.
Seeing this, many Wagang soldiers who had followed Li Mi were all horrified and looked at Qin Shuang not far away in horror. You know, Li Mi's martial arts could definitely be ranked among the top five in Wagang, but such a master had his arms chopped off in front of the divine sword Qin Shuang!
Not to mention the more than 100,000 Qin troops surrounding them from afar!
How can we resist this?
"Li Mi, old thief, prepare to die!"
At this moment, the burly Zhai Jiao shouted loudly and rushed towards Li Mi!
Tu Shufang and Xuan Yong pounced on Zu Junyan and Xu Shiji!
Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin and many soldiers who were surrounding Li Mi, saw Zhai Jiao and Tu Shufang leading the old Wagang troops to attack them. They looked hesitant and did not resist.
Zhai Jiao chopped at Li Mi's legs with a knife!
Li Mi's hands were cut off by Qin Shuang, and his martial arts skills were lost by 80% to 90%. How could he resist Zhai Jiao's hateful knife?
"what!"
Li Mi groaned miserably as his legs were cut off at the knees by Zhai Jiao. Blood gushed out and he became shorter than before, falling to the ground!
Zhai Jiao did not stop and slashed towards Li Mi's head with the long sword!
puff!
There was a muffled sound of a knife entering flesh, and a line of blood appeared between Li Mi's eyebrows. His eyes were filled with unwillingness, and he was split into two!
at the same time.
Tu Shufang and Xuan Yong also killed Zu Junyan and Xu Shiji.
"Dad! Jiao'er has avenged you with the help of Marshal Qin!"
Zhai Jiao chopped Li Mi's body into pieces with several consecutive cuts.
Then he faced the direction of Wagang, knelt down with tears streaming down his face.
After Zhai Jiao kowtowed three times in the direction of Wagang, and then kowtowed three times respectfully to Qin Shuang to express his gratitude, she turned around and looked at Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and other Wagang generals, and said loudly, "Brothers, I, Zhai Jiao, killed these three scums just to avenge my father!"
"You are all my father's old subordinates. Li Mi is doomed. Military Advisor Shen, Shan Xiongxin, Bing Yuanzhen and many other old subordinates have surrendered to Marshal Qin. You should join us and march into Chang'an!"
As Zhai Jiao spoke, she looked at Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and others.
"I am willing to surrender to Marshal Qin!"
"Qin Shubao is willing to surrender!"
"I am willing to surrender!"
Upon hearing Zhai Jiao's invitation, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and many Wagang soldiers knelt on the ground.
"Generals, please stand up!"
Qin Shuang looked at Cheng Yaojin, Qin Shubao and many other generals kneeling on the ground, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. After this battle, Wagang was completely destroyed.
His Tian Qin Army took over Li Mi's Wagang area, and its power and territory increased dramatically again!
Next step.
It was to attack Luoyang.
Hulao Pass.
Inside the central military tent of the Tianqin Army.
Qin Shuang sat upright in the main seat, with Zhuge Cheng, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Kan Kan, Shen Luoyan, Zhai Jiao, Tu Shufang, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin and many other generals on his left and right.
"Reporting to the Marshal, this time our Tianqin Army has captured all the cities of Wagang and recruited 170,000 Wagang soldiers!"
Zhuge Cheng stepped forward and reported respectfully.
Say it.
He handed over a book which recorded the number of soldiers and cities of the Wagang Army.
"very good!"
Qin Shuang took the book and read it. He showed satisfaction in his eyes. He looked at the generals in the tent and said loudly, "Generals, the army will take a short break and capture Luoyang! We will aim for Chang'an!"
"Yes!"
"Leader!"
"."
All the generals knew clearly that the Marshal's flying knives could knock down the city walls. When the time came, they would use the flying knives to break the city walls, and the troops would enter the city. Taking Luoyang would be as easy as eating and drinking!
Luoyang City.
Imperial City, inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Wang Shichong, dressed in imperial robes, sat in the back hall, looking anxious.
At this time, a spy came quickly and reported respectfully, "Your Majesty, we just received news that Qin Shuang of the Tianqin Army led his troops to pursue Li Mi of Wagang. Li Mi was killed, and most of his subordinates surrendered!"
"The Tianqin Army has incorporated the remnants of the Wagang Army. This..."
When Wang Shichong heard this, deep worry appeared in his eyes.
Next, the Tian Qin army will besiege Luoyang. Qin Shuang’s flying knife is so sharp, how to resist it?
"Your Majesty, we have a way to help you kill Qin Shuang! However, you need to agree to one condition from our Great Ming Sect!"
At this moment, a deep voice sounded in the Yangxin Palace.
Asking for a monthly ticket!
