Chapter 753
Dongjun.
On the north bank of the Ji River, Fengqiu City.
After hearing the shameful report from student Wang Bo in person, Li Mi reached out and helped him up.
In fact, he had already led the subsequent elite troops to Dongjun, but he had been stationed in Fengqiu, a hundred miles away from Baima City, which was deliberately controlled by him.
Like Wang Bodang, he was looking forward to the help of the Xia army in Hebei after besieging Baima City, so that he could siege the city and fight aid, fight an annihilation battle in Dongjun, and then take advantage of the victory to lead his troops north to Hebei. So he did not lead his army to Baima City. In that case, there were too many soldiers in Baima City, and the Xia army would not be able to go south again.
But he didn't expect that the Xia army could fight so much.
Previously, when Zhu Can defeated Li Yang, it can be called the Xia army using tricks to capture the city, but in the battle of the White Horse, this is obviously different.
"The Xia army is only about 8,000?"
He believed in the report of his student Wang Bodang. Even if he was defeated, he would not exaggerate the number of enemies, nor would he make up the enemy's elite. Only eight thousand people could defeat the 80,000 troops under Baima City. Although the most important battle in the South Bank, the Wei army at that time was only about 30,000, but the 8,000 or 30,000 was still strong enough.
He sat there pondering.
The Xia army was so elite, and even dispatched armored cavalry. Even if it was only half-equipped, the number of thousands of cavalry still made him secretly shocked.
Not to mention that the Xia army also set up a formation of the Modao Army, and everyone even brought bows and there were a lot of iron armor.
Today is a clear day. The snow has not melted yet, but there is no wind and it is very quiet.
Fengqiu is a hundred miles away from Baima, and there are also two cities of Licheng and Lingchang in the middle.
The scout sent by Li Mi went north and went deep into Baima City and approached to reconnaissance of the enemy situation. The Xia army in the city also sent light cavalry. The two sides shot a few arrows at each other, and the scout hurriedly retreated.
"The Xia army did not retreat?"
After learning the news, a look of excitement flashed in Li Mi's eyes.
"They were so brave that they were proud of it, but they refused to leave. Since that's the case, then don't leave."
Li Mi decided to surround the White Horse again, and this time he would surround the 8,000 elite troops of the Xia army.
Although Wang Bodang said before that this army was extremely well-equipped, well-equipped, strong fighting spirit and high combat skills, Li Mi believed that this was just Dou Jiande's most elite army and would not be too many.
As long as this elite force is surrounded and eaten, Dou Jiande will be severely injured.
If Dou Jiande can still be led south and another annihilation battle in Baima City, then all the nine counties in Hebei will be returned to him.
"Lord, be careful of Li Yuan, Pengcheng and Qiluluo family."
After Baima suffered a big loss, Wang Bodou became more cautious. After seeing Li Mi going to fight the Xia army in Baima City, he couldn't help but remind him.
"Pengcheng Li Yuan is not worth worrying about. If I hadn't had time at the moment, I would have destroyed Pengcheng Li Yuan first. Let him aside for the time being and deal with Dou Jiande who dared to go south first."
As for the Luo family.
Li Mi was very afraid of Luo Cheng, but Luo Cheng was still in Liaodong now. The information he sent to Liaodong was that Luo Cheng had just mobilized all the Zhongwu army in the autumn to launch the battle of Fuyuchuan against the Yuan clan, although the battle was quickly won.
However, Li Mi determined that it would take time to sort out the results after the war, and now it is a cold winter season, so Luo Cheng should be unable to move south again. Although there is information that some troops crossed the sea from Liaodong to Shandong, Li Mi still determined that this was just that Luo Cheng wanted to defend Donglaiqilu, the eastern part of Shandong, and did not want to lose this landing point for the future southward movement.
As long as Luo Cheng's main force of Zhongwu Army did not move south in large quantities, he would not have to worry too much about the Luo family.
However, Wang Shichong from Luoyang made him feel a little worried.
This guy and Pei Renji, one guarding Luoyang and the other guarding western Henan, and the other guarding Hedong, Shangdang, and several counties in Hanoi, which are now loyal to the court, make his strength still not weak.
Before Yang Guang was killed, he also ordered Guanzhong to send troops to rescue Luoyang. Therefore, Wen Sheng, the guard in the pass, had led about 20,000 Guanzhong troops to join the Henan battlefield.
Although there is no war yet, it is obvious that they are planning a counterattack.
Li Mi felt a little bit of his predicament at this time. Although he killed Meng Rang and swallowed his Huaixi, he still did not live in the four battles.
Isolated and helpless.
But Luoyang just can't take it.
If he could give him another year and a half, Li Mi would be confident that he would definitely take Luoyang, but before he could even clear out the damn Dou Jiande, he actually reached out to Henan.
Thinking of this, Li Mi tapped the table with her fingers.
He sighed at the chaos of the situation and was also a little envious of Luo Cheng's ability to have a stable base in the rear.
"Bodang, Wang Bo is in Luo Cheng's army now?" Li Mi asked suddenly.
"Well, he surrendered to Luo Cheng in Qi County a few years ago, and was later exiled to Liaodong. Luo Cheng recruited him and later became the county magistrate. Now it is said that he is the county magistrate, so Luo Cheng is still valued."
Li Mi nodded, "You have a good relationship with Wang Bo. You send someone to find Wang Bo and ask him to pass on a message to Luo Cheng for me, saying that I had joined the court before, and now the Emperor Daye has been killed. I, Li Mi, would like to lead the twenty-two counties in Huaixi, Henan and be loyal to Emperor Zhide in Liaodong."
Wang Bodang was unexpected.
"Why do you want to submit a slander to Liaodong?"
"Because we are now living in the four battles, looking around, all of us are enemies. Military strategy, we are fighting from afar, attacking near and near, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande are now in a situation where we will never stop, so we cannot fight against Luo Cheng at the same time at the same time, so we can find a way to hold them back first."
It would be even better if we could unite Luo Cheng to destroy Dou Jiande first. As for the future, we can only solve the enemy in front of us first.
If he cannot conquer Luoyang for a long time and deal with Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, he will find it difficult for him to continue and he will collapse sooner or later.
"Luo Cheng may go south in summer, so we don't have much time left. We must first defeat Dou Jiande who went south, then break Luoyang, and then enter Guanzhong. We must decide the overall situation before Luo Cheng goes south."
In order to gain time, Li Mi was willing to lead 22 counties and 600,000 troops to submit a letter to the Emperor of Liaodong, and was willing to lead his troops to conquer Luoyang and two pseudo courts in Jiangdu.
After making these decisions, Li Mi personally led 100,000 troops and gathered Wang Bodang's tens of thousands of defeated soldiers, claiming to be 300,000, and headed north in large numbers.
Li Mi sent his most elite Wei Wuzhang soldiers and quickly headed north, and then surrounded Baima City again.
Wang Fubao, Liu Heita and Cao Bao were originally 13,000 soldiers, but there were about 10,000 soldiers at this time, but they were blocked by Li Mi's army.
