The two camps under attack happened to be one of the three camps that were most unexpectedly outside the north gate of Wang'an City. Each camp had more than a thousand people. They were the main force specially arranged by Li Ming to snipe the opponent's camp robbery operation. They were all composed of the city defense force. Moreover, because they were prepared and shot some of the sneak attackers in advance, although there were quite a few differences in the number of people, they would not be completely defeated by the opponent for a while.

However, although these city defense forces have super strong combat power, they still seem very difficult in this uneven battle. Although the enemy is not as well-equipped as theirs and is not as well-trained as them, they are defeated by the large number of people, and they borrow one by one, constantly attacking them, without caring about their own casualties at all. This lifeless fighting style is the most trouble for them. Therefore, if it takes a long time, they may not be able to persevere.

The good thing is that at this critical moment, the rumbling sound of war drums came from the central army camp in the rear, and Li Ming brought his personal guard to the battle site in time.

In order to deal with the sniper at night, Li Ming and Lu Ping divided the work. Lu Ping was responsible for the coordination and command of the east gate and the south gate, while Li Ming was responsible for the north gate and the west gate. That night, Li Ming was camping between the north gate and the west gate. After the sneak attack outside the north gate began, he hurried to the scene with his guards. At the same time, he asked his intelligence personnel to seize the time to inquire about the situation of the surrounding enemy troops. After confirming that there were no ambush from other enemy troops, he ordered the messengers to beat the war drum on the road.

Hearing the command of drums in the distance, the city defense force in another camp immediately abandoned the camp and rushed to a camp next to it with all his might. He was attacked by the two sides. The enemy troops, which had not been trained, immediately became confused. As a result, the city defense force inside took the opportunity to fight out. On the dark night, with the help of the torches around the camp, the city defense force on both sides fought against the sneak attackers.

Because the quality of the troops on both sides is too far apart, and the city defense military is prepared, in a short time, the sneak attack troops in a camp have been almost wiped out by the city defense troops on both sides. The remaining sneak attackers either fell to the ground and pretended to be dead or sneaked away quietly in the dark.

At this time, in another camp, the same big reversal was also happening. The difference is that there were not too many enemy troops destroyed in this camp, and most of the enemy troops were scared away.

After receiving the drum command from Li Ming, the camps of the new soldiers behind the three camps in front were immediately in chaos. They had not received any good training, and they were even more frightened. When the camp was attacked at night, they were able to stay in the camp quietly because they did not receive the order. However, once they were notified of the attack, they immediately became in chaos. With the officers' efforts to surround and scold them, the new soldiers in the camps rushed out in chaos. Because the battle scenes outside the camps that were reinforced by the city defense forces were much more tragic, so the new ones were

The soldiers rushed to another camp that had not received reinforcements. This time, the sneak attackers were uneasy because of the long battle. When they saw countless torches in the rear approaching them quickly, they knew that they were the opponent's reinforcements. Judging from the number, they were many times more than them. If they were besieged, no one would have escaped. Therefore, the soldiers on the periphery slipped away first. In this way, they formed a chain reaction in the team of sneak attackers. Before the recruits arrived at the scene, the sneak attackers had already escaped completely.

In this way, Li Ming's troops solved the enemy's sneak attack without any danger. Under the leadership of the city defense officers, all the soldiers participated in the operation of cleaning the battlefield. Since it was night, Li Ming issued an order to prevent the enemy from lying on the ground and pretending to die, thus causing unnecessary casualties to his army. In this way, the sneak attack battle became a war without prisoners.

Soon, the results of the battle were handed over to Li Ming. This time, more than 4,800 enemy troops were wiped out, and more than 2,300 casualties were killed or killed in the city defense army. Although this was a prepared and planned ambush battle, the enemy's strength still made Li Ming look at it with admiration. In this situation, the city defense army could cause such a large casualties. It seems that Li Qing has really arranged a lot of elite troops in this Wang'an City. However, in this way, the plan formulated by Li Ming during the day has become somewhat loopholes.

Their original plan was only formulated for the nine thousand defensive soldiers in Wang'an City. The combat ability of those soldiers was generally not strong. Therefore, with more than 10,000 city defense forces and excellent siege equipment, they could easily break the city. However, judging from the battle just now, the defenders in Wang'an City were obviously much more powerful than those in Nan'an City, and they were not on the same level at all. Coupled with Zheng Yu's actions not long ago, Li Ming realized that Wang'an City was far from being as easy as Nan'an City, and could easily break it. Tomorrow's battle would inevitably become extremely tragic.

Li Ming, who was sitting in the central army camp, after a long time of thinking, after soliciting Lin Long's advice, called Jia Er in, hurriedly gave him instructions, and asked Jia Er to set off for work.

The next day, when the sun had just emerged from the horizon and there was still a faint mist on the ground, Li Ming ordered the troops to start the first round of attacks early.

Since the purpose of this time was to occupy Wang'an City, Li Ming was not afraid that the soldiers in the city would abandon the city and flee. In that case, Li Ming would be very happy. Therefore, he concentrated all the soldiers who surrounded the four gates at the north gate of Wang'an City. He was still the same combat plan, concentrated superior forces, implemented key breakthroughs on the enemy's point, defeated the enemy from a local level, and then used this point as a basis to gradually expand the victory results. This is the most commonly used tactic since Li Ming led his troops to fight. At the same time, this tactic is also the one he is most familiar with.

The vanguard officer who served as the siege this time was still Xi Shaonan. This time, because Li Ming was present to command, he and the attacking soldiers rushed towards the enemy's city wall with weapons. Under the bright red light, the dust smoke brought by the rushing soldiers was covered with a thin layer of fog, which seemed so strange in the sound of war drums that shook the sky and the shouts that resounded through the clouds.

Soon, the siege troops approached Wang'ancheng's moat. They were very skilled. Under the cover of shields, the soldiers in charge of paving the roads spliced ​​the thick wooden boards in their hands, forming wide bridges, spanning the moat. As the road was unblocked, the siege personnel arrived quickly crossed the moat and ladders on the city wall.

Behind them, the tall chariot quickly took its place under the push of the soldiers. The archers above shot the locust-like bows and arrows into the other party's city wall, providing strong protection for the soldiers who set up the ladder.

What's strange is that from the time when the city defense forces started attacking to when they started setting up ladders, the defending soldiers did not move at all. Even when the bows and arrows on the chariot were scattered to the city like rain, the defensive soldiers did not let the defensive soldiers fight back, which gave Li Ming, who was watching the battle from a distance, had a bad premonition.

According to the original estimate, if there were only nine thousand soldiers in Wang'an's city, they would have lost more than half of them last night. In today's attack, one of their own side should be able to take the city easily. Judging from the current situation, various signs also indicate that the other side has no available soldiers.

However, Li Ming did not think that the things in front of him were so simple. Since Zheng Yu was the commander-in-chief appointed by Li Qing, Wang'an's city must at least have enough troops. Otherwise, Zheng Yu would not have taken such a big risk in order to delay his attack. Therefore, Li Ming was full of uneasiness about the silence of the enemy in front of him.

Sure enough, Li Ming's concern became a fact. Just as the soldiers siege the city began to use the ladder and were about to climb to the top of the opponent's city wall, the opponent's troops suddenly attacked.

The first one to attack was the opponent's archers. Almost at the same time, a rain of arrows like locusts poured down towards the soldiers under the city wall. Since they were not attacked along the way, the density of soldiers under the city wall was quite large. Just one round of bows and arrows hit, most of the soldiers who participated in the first round of attacks were killed or injured.

Almost at the same time, the crossbows that were ambushing the city walls also began to attack. At the beginning, the attack of the carriage did not seem to have caused much damage to the defending city, because the enemy's counterattack was so sudden and so fierce again.

The targets of the crossbows were those storms that threatened them the most. Almost at the same time, each storm was hit by seven or eight storm crossbows. The crossbow arrows as thick as babies' arms were roaringly whistled through the thick side panels of the storm without any mercy, and directly penetrated the wooden house with iron plates on it. The powerful impact force shocked the huge storm. Obviously, the archers inside were inevitably spared by such a blow.

Immediately afterwards, the city guards who had eliminated the threat of chariots emerged and smashed the wooden rocks in their hands at the soldiers who were still crawling up on the ladder. In a blink of an eye, the long ladder became completely clean.

The first time we met, the city defense army suffered huge losses. In particular, the Mengche, which was suppressed by the bow and arrow, was instantly destroyed by the opponent, causing the siege soldiers to be directly exposed to the opponent's defense weapons. At this time, no matter how well the soldiers on the siege were, they were not the opponent of the soldiers who were well prepared for the city guarding. Because without the support of the bow and arrow, the siege soldiers would stand there and let the other party slaughter.

Therefore, seeing this situation, Li Ming promptly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. In the first round of attack, he dispatched 4,000 city defense troops. As a result, only more than a thousand people were able to come back. All the siege vehicles were left under the city wall and were slowly burned by the opponent with rockets.

Young man Xi came to Li Ming with a bow and arrow on his back with a face full of shame. He knelt down with a plop, his forehead lying on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. The wound on his back also cracked, and blood kept flowing down the arrow.

Li Ming hurriedly jumped off the horse, helped the young man Xi up with his own hands, and advised him with kind words. After ordering the military lieutenant to take him down, Li Ming ordered the entire army to retreat for a mile and then set up camp to defend.

Although it was strange to Li Ming's order, since his reputation in the two states of Jiang and Hu had already spread throughout the army, everyone did not dare to ask more questions. They hurriedly followed Li Ming's orders, and after retreating a mile, they set up camp on the spot, waiting for Li Ming's further orders.

From his ignorance when he first came to this world to the famous generals who are now galloping through the storm, Li Ming's growth rate is very fast. However, he himself is not surprised by this. He is familiar with almost all the strategies and tactics, military tactics, warfare examples, and the experience of famous generals, plus a few practical experiences and explorations, Li Ming quickly adapted to the war and the battlefield. At this time, he had completely become a battlefield-standing general. His tactics and combat methods have long surpassed all the generals of this era.

Just like now, after the first round of exploratory attacks, Li Ming issued a timely order to retreat, and the enemy still had great strength. This was determined by Li Ming in a timely manner. Although the experience and tactics on the battlefield could not be copied, appropriate reference was still possible to avoid detours. With these experiences and theories, Li Ming obviously smelled a trace of dangerous signals. This signal was so obvious that Li Ming ignored the ongoing war, but carefully concentrated the soldiers, formed camps and lined up in a defensive formation.

Lin Long, in the central army tent, was also very surprised by Li Ming's hasty decision, just like those confused officers. Finally, after Li Ming ordered everyone to withdraw, she hurriedly started asking.

Facing Lin Long's doubts, Li Ming was not surprised at all, because even he himself regretted the hasty decision just now. It was absolutely not allowed for a commander to make such a big move just because of a intuition. However, that perception was so strong at the time that Li Ming almost thought that it was true, so he was still in a contradiction now.

Unable to answer Lin Long's question, Li Ming had no choice but to remain silent. Looking at Li Ming's thoughtful expression and his flickering eyes, Lin Long couldn't continue asking questions, so the two of them sat silently in the central army tent, not knowing what they should say for a while.

Just at this embarrassing moment, the curtain of the central army's tent was lifted open by Yi. He hurriedly ran to Li Ming, not caring about Lin Long's annoyed face, and hurriedly reported to Li Minghui: "Master, a large number of enemy troops have been found in our east and west, and are approaching us quickly. Judging from the observation of the brothers, they are all under the banner of the Ming King. At this time, the north gate of Wang'an City has also been opened, and nearly 10,000 soldiers have been drawn from the city. As of the time when I came in, they were still dispatching troops outside Xiangcheng, so I don't know how many soldiers there are in Wang'an City."

Li Ming suddenly felt relieved, and the feeling of anxiety just now also dissipated. It seems that this is the intuition that he developed about some actions of the enemy on the battlefield after gaining most of the war examples and war experiences in history and the present. This is purely a accumulation of experience and knowledge, a subconscious thinking and action, and a way of thinking that he does not know at present. No matter how he got it, in short, he attributes it to intuition.

Lin Long was a little surprised. Although she had long believed in Li Ming's ability, this ability to predict the enemy's first still made him feel a little incredible. She had always been by Li Ming's side, so she was very clear about every order from Li Ming. Li Ming did not send scouts to the east and west sides to search for the enemy's reinforcements. She was very sure of this. Therefore, she still felt a little incredible that Li Ming could react before the enemy appeared in time. However, this time was obviously not an opportunity to ask questions. When the war was over, she had time to take out the truth from Li Ming's mouth.

He stood up quickly and Li Ming quickly conveyed an order to Yi Yi: "Immediately order all the city defense troops to fight in line, and all the new recruits defended the camp. Tell those city defense officers that without my order, no one can act rashly. Since the enemy chose to fight here, they will definitely send their main troops. Maybe Li Qing was about to concentrate his troops in this area and then wanted to take the opportunity to attack the imperial city. However, I didn't expect that I accidentally broke it. This was possible. Therefore, I absolutely could not attack at will until I had no absolute certainty."

As soon as B received the order, he hurried out to pass the order. Li Ming stepped on his Yitian Sword, picked up the Sky-Splitting Sword, and went out with Lin Long to the camp.

In the wide military camp, the soldiers who received Li Ming's orders moved quickly, with horses neighing, people screaming, and running sounds throughout the military camp. In a short while, the neatly arranged city defense forces stood solemnly in front of Li Ming.

In comparison, the new recruits were much slower. Although they had experienced several battles in the past two days, they still seemed so panicked. Most of them didn't know what to do with their weapons. It was because Lu Ping pulled out some of the city defense forces, so he barely allowed the new recruits to return to their combat positions.

Soon, Yi Yi quickly returned: "Report to the master, according to the latest investigation, the visitor was indeed King Li Qing of the Ming Dynasty. In our west, there were nearly 30,000 troops, and in our east, there were nearly 50,000 troops. The leader was Li Qing. In the south, more than 20,000 troops emerged from Wang'an City. At present, these three armies have formed a siege against us."

Li Ming nodded and ordered in a deep voice: "Tell me my order, the camps in the south and the west, and stand firm for help. All the city defense forces are facing the army in the east, and I want to fight with them in front of the formation."

Immediately, Li Ming's order spread throughout the camp. After receiving the order, the city defense army quickly took action. Under Lu Ping's personal leadership, the entire army rushed out of the camp. One mile away from the camp, arranged the formations against the enemy troops who were quickly coming from afar, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Under the escort of Lin Long and his personal guards, Li Ming came to the forefront of the team through the central army formation. Looking at the enemy running towards him, a hint of excitement rose in his heart.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves gradually came into each soldier. The enemy troops attacked from three aspects showed a huge momentum. The galloping horse hooves even trembled the ground under everyone's feet. The low voice mixed with dust and mist in the sky brought huge psychological pressure to the soldiers defending one side. After all, the forces of the two sides were too different. The more than 10,000 city defense forces and 20,000 new recruits, the feeling of despair can be imagined when facing the opponent's 100,000 troops.

But Li Ming did not show any panic. He stepped on the snow-white war horse, held the Sky-Cracking Sword, and looked at the arrival of the enemy calmly. On his face, he showed great confidence, which made Lu Ping, who was by his side, feel at ease. After all, he knew Li Ming's record. Li Ming, who had never failed, would not joke about himself with the lives of so many soldiers. Since he was so calm, he would definitely have a way to defeat the enemy. However, Lu Ping couldn't even think of it. What wonderful strategy would Li Ming use to make his more than 30,000 army able to fight against the opponent's 100,000 army. Obviously, it was too late to go back to retaliate. The strength of the two sides was too different. By the time the reinforcements arrived, they would probably have been wiped out by the opponent.

The team from the East was indeed led by Li Qing himself. Seeing the city defense force lined up in front, Li Qing also began to order his subordinates to fight and prepare to fight with the other side. At this moment, he discovered Li Ming standing in front of the team.

A burst of anger emerged from Li Qing's heart. He couldn't wait for his team to form a formation, so he pointed at Li Ming and shouted loudly: "Li Ming, I didn't expect it to be you, an ungrateful little thief! Haha, you finally fell into my hands today. I want to see what else do you have to deal with me today!"

Li Ming laughed indifferently and replied loudly to Li Qing, who was angry and blue in his face, "Li Qing, what you said makes me very strange. Who is the ungrateful person? If I hadn't let you go with you in a magnanimous way, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to argue with me here now. So, before you say anything, you should think about it before you can't be caught by the other party. But I'm really strange. Do you have no memory? I just lost in Hubei, Mid-mountain, and now I've come to Nanguo City in person. Don't you know I'm here? Haha, it's really strange. Why do you remember to die again? Come on, Li Qing, if you are a man, you'll come to fight with me alone and see who we are. Of course, if you admit that you are a woman, you can ignore my challenge."

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, his crazy mind was also awakened by Li Ming's words. He now became a little embarrassed, and even a little difficult to get on the verge of his life. He did not expect that after only a few words with Li Ming, he began to challenge him. He knew very well that as Lin Lingfeng's apprentice, he could not beat him by a hundred of them. However, since he had spoken out to challenge, if he did not face the battle, it would bring a great blow to the powerful troops. With a good military education, he certainly knew what kind of impact he would not face at this time, but the problem now is that he could not go forward to fight with Li Ming at all. So, the remaining task is how to eliminate the negative impact of rejecting Li Ming's but challenging him.

The best thing is that the General Gonglin next to him rescued him in time.

"What are you, and you are qualified to challenge our prince? You are just a small doctor. What qualifications are you clamoring here? Are you relying on those valuable official positions given to you by the pseudo-emperor? Let me tell you that in front of our prince, we will not recognize all the officials granted by the pseudo-emperor. Therefore, in our eyes, you are still a small doctor. Our prince is so noble, how could we fight with you? Hahaha, I suddenly got itchy, so I want to attack you. Come on, boy, let me play with you." After that, he rode out and came to the center of the two armies, with a provocative look on Li Ming.

Li Ming seemed to be careless about his words. Looking at Gong Lin opposite him, he smiled softly and said leisurely: "You are just a dog under Li Qing. What qualifications do you have to challenge me? Haha, look at you, it seems that you want to fight. Well, I will fulfill you and let you have no regrets before you die. Which general in this army is willing to fight?"

Almost at the same time, two voices rang in Li Ming's ears: "I am willing to go to the battle!"

Li Ming turned around and saw that it was Lu Ping and another general who could not be named after Li Ming. At the same time, he asked Li Ming for battle to go to war.

Li Ming smiled and said, "As the commander of the city defense force, Lu Ping should not fight in person. Who is that general? How about the time right away? I ask you to win, otherwise our morale will be even lower."

Lu Ping hurriedly replied: "Best Prince, this is the guerrilla general Shao Gen. His immediate skills can be ranked first in our city defense force. Mo Jiang is far inferior to him. If he goes to fight, he will definitely be able to take down the opponent's head."

Li Ming nodded happily and responded: "Really? Very good, Shao Gen, I ordered you to fight and bring the head of the opponent's dog to me. Remember, you can only win, not lose, otherwise you will not come to see me."
