"Sun Wentai actually died in battle like this!" In the big tent, Li Xiang couldn't help but sigh after reading the news from the Floating Water Room.
Although Mao Xiang had already gone to Guanzhong, the information that was to be delivered from the Floating Water Room every day still had to be handed over to Li Xiang, but the person transmitting the information was changed from Mao Xiang to someone else.
After hearing this, all the counselors and generals in the hall were also slightly shocked. It is not a small matter for a prince to die in battle.
But just for a moment, people like Liu Bowen, Jia Xu and others showed a look of surprise. It is true that Sun Wentai fought bravely and took the lead in every battle. He was invincible when attacking the city.
However, these things should have been done by his generals. As the leader of a force, he must be the first in every battle, and he should have a way to die.
At the same time, they were also very happy in their hearts. Although their own lord was willing to fight on the battlefield, he only commanded from behind and never rushed to the front line like Sun Jian.
"This Yuan Highway is really good luck!" Liu Bowen sighed slightly.
Chi You was fighting with Zhao Kuangyin, and the Xiang clan was fighting with the three brothers of Liu Ciao. Yang Jian, who was supposed to be the one to attack Yuan Shu, was blocking the way for Li Xiang, who wanted to use the emperor to control the princes.
While Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor Li Xiang to attract the attention of the princes of the world, Li Xiang's conquest of Yongliang also attracted the attention of the princes of the world for Yuan Shu, so that in the end there were only two princes who went to attack Yuan Shu.
In addition, Yuan Shu did have some talents under his command, and he actually made the other party persevere.
"It doesn't matter, this Yuan Jiujiu is just a pile of dead bones after all. Even if he can stop him this time, he will definitely not be able to stop him next time." Li Xiang said nonchalantly.
Now that Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor, how can the princes around him continue to tolerate this guy dominating them all? Even if they fail to deal with him for various reasons in the end, after this war is over, they will definitely find the right opportunity to attack Yuan Shu again.
.
At the same time, Li Xiang was also thinking about whether he should give Li Mi more support. After all, with only Yang Ren and Pei Xingjian to help him, Li Mi was still a little weak. In this way, he could not compete with Wang Mang and Jiang Xiaobai.
human.
Yuan Shu is a good spear, and with Li Bi here, he can use it to a great extent.
"How is Wang Meng's place being handled now?" Li Xiang asked slightly after putting aside Yuan Shu's matters. In any case, he can't take care of Yuan Shu's place now, and his own troubles here haven't been solved yet!
"My lord, now that Cao Shen's troops have become the best among men, it will only last three to five days at most." Yue Fei took a step forward and replied.
On that day, Cao GUI set up a fire at Mengjing Pass that burned for three days and three nights. After three days, Wang Meng was able to lead his cavalry to attack Xiaopingjin at night. With Xu Huang as the leader, and Huang Feibao and Huang Feibiao as assistants, he led the mengjing pass.
The defenders were stationed at the Mengjinguan ruins.
Mengjinguan and Xiaopingjin are both the northern gateways of Luoyang, and their status is self-evident. Although it was burned down by Cao GUI this time, it still has good defensive power just by setting up a camp due to its geographical advantage.
Moreover, as Mengjinguan is one of the gates of Luoyang, Wang Meng naturally would not let it remain dilapidated. He left Xu Huang and others here to prepare for the subsequent repair work.
Wang Meng and Zhang Liao have known each other for more than ten years, and they naturally know Zhang Liao's abilities. Therefore, soldiers are very fast. In order to prevent any accidents from happening in Xiao Pingjin, they immediately assigned 5,000 elite cavalry to Zhang Liao, allowing him to take the lead and rush forward.
Go to Xiaopingjin.
On the other side, although Cao Shen only attacked Xiaopingjin for a few days, he caused heavy losses to Xiaopingjin. The defense focus of the Xiaopingjin checkpoint was all on the north, while the defensive strength of the south side of the checkpoint was not that good.
In addition, Cao Shen was also a man who could deceive. He told the soldiers under his command that if they could not break through Xiaopingjin, they would die without a burial place. In this way, the whole army was aroused by him.
The determination to fight to the death greatly increased the combat power of the entire army.
On Han Shizhong's side, after the previous battle, there were only just over 7,000 navy troops left out of 10,000, and he had to deal with not only Cao Shen's troops south of Xiaopingjin, but also Liu Rengui's troops north of Xiaopingjin.
Under attack from two sides, although it only lasted a few days, Xiaopingjin was already in danger.
In particular, Cao Shen was quite unscrupulous in order to conquer Xiaopingjin. After scaling the city wall once, he ordered Cao Ning, Jiao Ying, and Xiahou Dun to personally lead troops to attack the city, while ordering Xiahou Yuan, who was good at archery, to hide aside and carry out the attack.
sneak attack.
Although Huang Tianxiang is a god general, he has just entered this realm for the first time. Although his true strength is stronger than that of a peerless peak, it is not much stronger. Unlike Yuwen Chengdu, Ran Min, You Liang and others who have obvious understanding of the peerless peak.
The advantages.
Facing an unparalleled peak player, although Huang Tianxiang can win, he still has to deal with it with all his strength. At this time, a sharp archer hides and attacks from the side, and even Huang Tianxiang will find it very troublesome.
Jiu Ying, also known as Jiao Ying, is also the best among the peerless peaks. Huang Tianxiang still has to go through a hard battle to defeat Jiao Ying. At this time, Xia Houyuan's hidden arrow arrived, and even Huang Tianxiang was in a hurry.
Fortunately, Huang Tianxiang is still a young hero with good strength. Although he was injured by the arrow, he did not suffer any substantial damage, nor did his life endanger.
After one arrow shot, Xia Houyuan had exposed himself in front of Huang Tianxiang, and Huang Tianxiang was already prepared. It was already difficult for Xia Houyuan to successfully surprise Huang Tianxiang again.
Several more cold arrows flew out, but Huang Tianxiang blocked them one by one. At this time, Xia Houyuan also realized that it would be difficult for him to sneak attack Huang Tianxiang again, and he did not just stare at Huang Tianxiang.
Don't let people go.
Therefore, he quickly changed his target and focused his attention on the other people who were fighting.
Although Cao Ning is not as strong as Jiao Ying, he is still a peerless military general after all. The four generals Huang Ming, Zhou Ji, Long Huan, and Wu Qian joined forces to fight Cao Ning and were at a disadvantage. At this time, Xia Houyuan's
Cold arrows struck, and within a few arrows, the slightly weaker generals Long Huan and Wu Qian lost their lives.
Generals Long Huan and Wu Qian died in the battle. At this time, even if Xia Houyuan stopped taking action, Cao Ning alone would be able to kill the remaining generals Huang Ming and Zhou Ji sooner or later.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhang Liao's vanguard army finally arrived at this time.
