Chapter 117 Soul
Qi Min is already challenging the Black Cloud Army.
If you don't fight, then your arrogance will become more and more intense.
Qi Min was just the pebble they threw at them to ask for directions. Li Yue took one step back, and they took one step forward.
Therefore, this battle must be fought, and it must be fought hard, and fought quickly!
Delaying it will only make the situation more complicated. Issues that can be solved with a knife should be avoided on the negotiation table.
As for Hebei, there will be a long-term confrontation between Xiangguo and Yecheng, and it is difficult for the Heiyun Army to gain much from their plunder.
If they can't kill Qi Min at this time and frighten the powerful, they will be even more unscrupulous in the future.
Compromise is okay, but it is the powerful who compromises with Heiyunshan, not Heiyunshan who compromises with the powerful.
You must be ambitious in life.
Heiyun Mountain has just started to improve, but it has compromised with others. How can it continue to thrive in the future?
Li Yue said in a deep voice: "Chen left 10,000 black cloud troops and 30,000 southern troops to march to Rencheng. I want to see if Qi Min gave birth to three heads and six arms!"
In less than an hour, the 10,000 Black Cloud Army was assembled, and the 30,000 Confederate Army finally arrived.
There are one thousand cavalrymen on the left wing with tall horses, and three hundred heavy cavalrymen wearing thick black iron armor, holding long spears, with eyes like torches and murderous intent.
The Chinese army has four thousand middle base camps, black armor and red silk banners, which are majestic.
The five thousand forward battalion on the right wing raised their axes, maces, and bones ferociously toward the sky.
The black cloud teeth stand under the gloomy sky, letting the cold wind blow and make hunting sounds.
The grandeur of the military is intimidating.
Behind the soldiers, there were 20,000 young men carrying grain and grass.
Looking at the army he had led with one hand, Li Yue felt infinite pride in his heart and waved his hand, "Arm up the troops!"
Boom, boom, boom...
Heavy steps hit the ground and headed east.
When they marched to Jiyin, they met Cui Jin. His face was full of embarrassment and he said, "I have betrayed the trust of the governor."
"This matter is not your fault alone. No one expected that there would be support behind Qi Min."
"This man is quite cunning. He repeatedly showed weakness and begged for mercy several times. His subordinates were careless and fell into his trap." In front of Li Yue, Cui Jin did not hide anything and recounted the causes and consequences of the defeat.
In addition to having strong support from Yanzhou behind him, Qi Min himself is also quite capable.
Even Cui Jin, who has always been cautious, was fooled.
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. This is not necessarily a bad thing. The Black Cloud Army rose too fast and swept across Yanzhou in two years. The arrogance of underestimating the enemy has gradually developed. This defeat should be taken as a warning."
This defeat was also a lesson for Li Yue.
Li Yang won easily, but Ren Cheng inside failed.
This shows that internal enemies are more harmful than external enemies.
"I will keep this in mind," Cui Jin still looked ashamed.
Within a few days, the army had entered Rencheng.
Just as they were setting up camp, they heard loud shouts of killing from all directions, and there were many shadows of people in the grass and swamps.
As soon as the Black Cloud Army got into position, the group of people retreated.
This was repeated for most of the night.
And just when everyone thought they were just tired, a thousand-man cavalry launched a fierce attack at dawn. It was quite fierce. They once broke into the camp and charged towards the Chinese army's tent where Li Yue was.
The shouts of killing filled the mountains and fields.
Although the cavalry was hanged, the soldiers were exhausted after having been noisy all night.
Li Yue finally understood Qi Min's cunning.
Virtual and real, it is impossible to guard against it.
However, these tricks are always vulnerable to real strength.
As the Confederate Army arrived and set up camp step by step, the enemy's geographical advantage was gradually eliminated.
The scout battalion searched every inch of grassland in Rencheng, leaving no trace of the ambush.
The army also successfully advanced to Rencheng.
Li Yue was not careless and asked Cui Jin to lead eight thousand southern troops to guard the grain road.
"Why do you push people too hard, Governor!" Qi Min shouted loudly from the top of the city.
"It's not that I'm being too pushy, it's that you are going against Black Cloud Mountain and seeking your own death!" Li Yue saw this person for the first time. Unexpectedly, he was not a treacherous villain with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, but a dignified appearance.
People cannot be judged by their appearance.
In the past, when he was called to report on his duties, he could not come due to illness, but now we met on this occasion.
"Does the Governor know that my city is not an isolated city?"
"Hmph, how could I not know about the calculations of the people behind you? Since you are willing to lay down your life for them, don't blame I for being ruthless!"
Everyone else was honest, but he was the only one who wanted to cause trouble and provoke Heiyun Mountain. Li Yue could only let him die without a burial place.
Qi Min on the city wall was stunned, but then a vicious look shot out of his eyes, "Huh, Huangkou Zhuzi, I have a well-equipped city army that can stop you for a year! I don't believe you can spend a year here!"
Li Yue laughed twice, inspected the city in front of him, stretched out three fingers, "Three days, within three days, this city will be destroyed!"
Fighting is about fighting with momentum.
Although Rencheng was strong, Li Yue believed more in the Heiyun soldiers under his command.
Moreover, this city cannot be breached within three days, lest the situation will change again, and then there will be a second and third "Ren City" who will not obey him.
The reason why Hao Qiang is powerful is that he has more control over the local area than Heiyun Mountain.
Therefore, it is necessary to cut through the mess quickly and deter Yanzhou from disobeying his own power.
"The governor has an order to capture this city in three days!" the soldiers shouted.
"Broken city! Broken city!"
The roars came one after another, and the sound shook the sky.
All the defenders on the city changed their colors, and even Qi Min was surprised. This black cloud army was completely different from the previous ones.
The flags were waved, the war drums sounded, shaking the earth, and the whimpering horns shot into the sky like arrows, and then landed on Rencheng.
The dead soldiers of the forward battalion roared, carrying long ladders, and rushed towards the city.
The city didn't seem to expect that the Black Cloud Army would take action as soon as they arrived. They were stunned for a moment, but then arrows, stones, hammers, and kerosene fell like rolling stones.
The city suddenly burst into flames.
A dozen forward battalions were engulfed in flames, struggling, twisting, and finally falling in the flames.
Qi Min's heart-rending laughter came from the city, "Hahaha, come and die! Our city is the burial place of your Black Cloud Army!"
War is always cruel.
Li Yue was not at all soft-hearted, and this casualty did not frighten the Black Cloud Army. Instead, it stimulated the Black Cloud Army's ferocity and fierceness, and more people rushed up the long ladder one after another.
The enemy troops repeated their old tricks and poured cans of kerosene on them.
However, a scene that shocked them occurred.
A soldier from the forward battalion, whose whole body was bathed in flames, roared and rushed towards the city wall, swung his ax in his hand, killed two people immediately, and then collapsed.
In just a few short breaths, Pao Ze gained a valuable opportunity behind him.
A soldier holding a mace came to the top of the city.
The mace was swung down and hit an enemy on the head, causing red and white objects to splash everywhere.
But the soldier was roaring, "Kill——"
"kill--"
In response to the call, dead soldiers from the vanguard battalion continued to climb up the city wall and fight alone against the six or seven enemy troops around them.
A bloody battle began at the top of the city.
Qi Min himself also fought at the front with his sword, and all his soldiers worked hard without regard for their own safety.
But compared with the Black Cloud Army, it is still far behind.
What the Heiyun Army possesses is not only bravery and bravery, but also a military spirit, knowing why they fight and why they die.
This is what Li Yue pursues tirelessly.
The Black Cloud Army led by Li Yue is completely different from the one led by Cui Jin.
Li Yue is the soul of the Black Cloud Army!
This army grew up in his hands, and step by step it has reached what it is today...
Blood spattered on the city wall, and Qi Min's resistance could not be described as tenacious. After nearly an hour and a half of fierce fighting, the city inevitably fell.
Li Yue said that it took three days to capture, but he didn't even hold it for one day, just three hours.
The so-called fortified city was captured.
Lines of prisoners were pushed outside the city.
Qi Min himself was also captured alive, and was held down in front of Li Yue with disheveled hair.
"Do you think the group of people behind you can stop my Black Cloud Army? Before you die, you might as well make it clear that one day, they will also pay the price for what they did today! And your price is that the three tribes will become slaves!"
Qi Min's face turned pale. If he didn't believe it before, he had to believe it now.
In front of the Black Cloud Army, all ghosts and monsters cannot come to the fore.
"Behead!" Li Yue waved his hand, such a person is not worth spending time on.
