Thanks to Mr. Z Biaoxiang for your monthly ticket! Thank you for your support! Welcome to subscribe to the official version! It¡¯s noon on the third day in front of a gorge that must be passed somewhere outside Taiyuan City. Looking at the mouth of the gorge in the distance, Li Mi looked calm, always maintaining a calm general demeanor, but the bubbles on his mouth betrayed his inner anxiety. In fact, he was already extremely anxious in his heart. . According to the previous judgment and the subsequent spies' report, didn't the enemy want to surround Taiyuan City as quickly as possible? Why are you wandering around in the back so leisurely? Could it be that Kou Zhong, one of the so-called newly rising masters, is actually such a guy with no commanding ability? You can't even command an army of 30,000 people, why can't you urge them? Aren't there also Zhai Rang and his group of stubborn old subordinates? With them here, the march wouldn't be so slow! You must know that soldiers are expensive and quick! Unexpectedly, Li Mi would still have time to feel anxious for Kou Zhong at this moment! In fact, Li Mi's victory also needed the enemy's heroic name to match it! Because it was an ambush, Li Mi's army had not made a fire to cook for two days. They were eating cold dry food and drinking cold water. Everyone was not in good condition. And the most terrible thing was that in order to facilitate the ambush, they only I brought dry food for twenty days! They have already eaten ten days of dry food on the road, and now three more days have been wasted. If the enemy does not come over, they may run out of food! At least the psychological pressure will be greater! Kou Zhong's army actually moved forward five miles a day, spread out the scouts ten miles away, and sent half of his soldiers to hunt and half to guard the camp, just like taking his men on a trip. He appeared in front of Li Mi just as slowly. This is already six days later! Li Mi's army has implemented a food rationing system, and there is no longer enough food. If they don't withdraw, they will face the dilemma of running out of food! At this moment, Li Mi was furious. He had already killed five scouts who had reported to him, and now the scouts had found out the bad news. They didn't dare to go back to the military camp, but fled far away on horseback, which made Li Mijun's military morale shaken again. It was not that Li Mi had not considered the possibility that his ambush had been discovered by the enemy, but he refused to believe this fact. He could only hope that Kou Zhong who led the army was a fool and that his army faced no less problems than he did. . If that happens, he will turn around and run away. Doesn't it give the enemy a great opportunity to pass through this gorge without any damage, and doesn't it just show his incompetence? He has no way out, Taiyuan City is not in his hands, and the relationships inside are also intricate, if he can't control it well. It is very likely that he will be completely defeated under internal and external attacks. At that time, he will be like a turtle in a urn with nowhere to escape. But it was different in this canyon. He had all his trusted brothers, and the terrain was very suitable for his advantage. If something went wrong, he could escape again with his army. Li Mi has already thought about it. If he fails again this time, he will flee to the Turks for a chance to make a comeback! After all the considerations, it wasn¡¯t that Li Mi was unwilling, but he actually didn¡¯t have many choices. Soon, Kou Zhong¡¯s army appeared in the mouth of the gorge and appeared in the sight of Li Mi¡¯s sentry. Logically speaking. If you want to pass through such a gorge, the faster the better. Don't hesitate. It's like walking on a ropeway that may break at any time. If you don't pass through as soon as possible and instead stop and go, you will inevitably end up in trouble. Face more terrifying risks! Don't talk about Kou Zhong for this reason. Even ordinary corps commanders and hundred commanders should understand it! At that time, Li Mi can motivate his soldiers in a desperate way, charge down from a high position, and completely defeat the opponent! But I didn¡¯t expect it. Not long after entering the mouth of the gorge, Kouzhong's army immediately began to set up camp! Moreover, the camp was built with great care and was very strong. It should be crushed by the defensive army! When Li Mi saw this scene in person, his face turned green. He already understood that the enemy had long understood that he was setting up an ambush here, and he had been a fool waiting to die from the beginning! Just when he knew that his failure was inevitable, how to stop and minimize losses became the most important thing at hand. He immediately ordered the army to withdraw from the ambush and quickly returned to Taiyuan City to Taiyuan City's powerful defense can resist Kou Zhong's 30,000 troops! The length of this gorge is about fifteen miles, of which the five and a half miles is the most dangerous. Li Mi set up an ambush here. If he wants to leave this gorge now, he has to run back for about ten miles. Li Mi now just hopes that Kou Zhong can camp safely and not rush up to pursue him again! When Li Mi's army started running wildly, Kou Zhong's army was actually following behind, quietly following up. When Li Mi¡¯s army is about toWhen exiting the fatal gorge, behind a huge turn, Li Mi's face suddenly turned pale, and the faces of other soldiers and officers also lost all color, because they found that in front of their eyes, they didn't know At some point, a rough level was actually built, made of green tree trunks and completely unprocessed stones, about three feet high. Such a rough level, if Li Mi is fully prepared, he can easily win it even if it only takes half a day. The rough shape on the level is a natural ladder. No matter how high they build the level, it will not make any sense. It can also make it easier for your soldiers to rush to the critical moment. But there is a very dangerous thing about this pass, that is, there is not a single door on the pass. The entire pass is a high and thick wall. Even if you capture this pass, you cannot easily cross it. You must It took a lot of effort to knock this level down! It's just that Li Mi's soldiers have not had hot meals for a long time, and their physical condition is very bad. The only thing that supports them is the belief that they must win another battle. By now, victory has become increasingly slim, and in their hearts The last breath begins to fade away gradually, then the disaster of destruction is just around the corner! Li Mi swallowed dryly, threw away the riding crop in his hand, jumped off his horse, and said to his bodyguard: "Come here, give me your armor, I will personally lead the team to conquer this level!" The guard behind him looked at the surrounding scene with an ugly expression, and seemed to know that this was the last battle, so he didn't say any nonsense. He quickly put on the armor for Li Mi, took out the precious sword that Li Mi was good at on the battlefield, and respectfully placed it in Li Mi's hand. Li Mi put on a mighty golden armor and held a golden sword in his hand. He looked like a god descending to earth, looking very mighty and majestic, and even more heroic. The temperament of a generation of heroes was clearly revealed, and the originally low morale suddenly began to recover. Countless soldiers, led by Li Mi's personal guards, roared loudly and fanatically! Li Mi looked a little better when he saw that his military spirit was ready. Turning around, he looked deeply at his generals Wang Bodang, Xu Shiji, Shen Luoyan and others, and said loudly: "Everyone, my life and death will be fought here! I, Li Mi, will live up to you all, and please kill me too." Move forward and follow me! If you are rich in the future, you will never forget me!" After that, he took the lead. Rushing towards the tall and rough checkpoint, a sparse rain of arrows suddenly shot down. Apart from killing a few unlucky people, it did not cause any actual damage to Li Mi and the others. Li Mi suddenly With joy in his heart, he accelerated his pace, regardless of the physical load, and worked hard to stimulate his own energy to overload. Jump up! At this moment, Li Mi was startled and hid to the side. A scorching wave of heat passed by his ears and even scorched a few strands of hair on his temples. He didn't even bother to kiss behind him. The soldier screamed and looked up above his head in surprise. Suddenly, he discovered that the enemy was frantically pouring kerosene everywhere, igniting the entire juncture. Suddenly a wave of heat rushed to Li Mi's face, and he saw that there was no place to stay at the juncture. Li Mi was anxious, and regardless of the possible consequences of internal injuries, he bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, threw off the heavy armor on his body, and jumped up more than a foot high, and then mysteriously jumped onto the rough, On the burning level! Suddenly, the soldiers under his feet burst into cheers! As long as Mi Gong boarded this level, it means that the entire level has fallen into their hands! So they cheered happily! In front of Li Mi's eyes, a dozen ordinary soldiers were climbing down from the juncture in a panic, but they let out a series of screams. It turned out that the ladder under their feet was not reliable at all, and they did not expect that The enemy climbed onto the wall so quickly, and seemed very panicked. He accidentally broke the long ladder under his feet, and smashed the dozen unlucky ghosts into a pulp on the ground. Li Mi frowned. At this moment, the flame was actually caused by kerosene which was very difficult to extinguish. This kind of kerosene has strong adhesion and can burn for a long time. Without the addition of other fuels, it would burn on its own. It can burn for at least half a day, not to mention that there is still a lot of wood that has just been harvested at this pass? Li Mi used his own skill to quickly fly away the rocks that were covered with kerosene. He quickly glanced in the direction of the checkpoint. As expected, there was nothing that could be climbed freely in the inner part of the checkpoint. In the setting, there are no stairs, no long ladder, and it is just a rough wall. Li Mi immediately ordered his soldiers to extinguish the newly burning flames, and quickly dug and destroyed the weak link, without giving the flames a chance to burn. In just half a day, all the soldiers were tired enough.Choking, the pass was demolished, and the army moved forward again. Not long after, they encountered another rough level. There was almost no defense on the level, but it was already burning and the momentum was fully gained. This time, they could not put out the flames immediately, but they could not bypass the gorge. Breaking through in other directions, they had to wait until the pass was completely burned before Li Mi and others boarded the pass, which appeared to be loose because the supporting wood had been burnt. At this moment, several other generals also jumped on the opportunity and completely took this level with almost zero defense into their own hands. Just when Li Mi was raising his arms and shouting for victory, Shen Luoyan's eyes were looking melancholy in the direction not far away. Xu Shiji was the first to notice Shen Luoyan's eyes. When he saw clearly what was in front of him, his expression He also became pale and stopped cheering with Li Mi. When Li Mi noticed something strange in front of him, his face also became very pale, because in front of his eyes, there were three identical channels in the remaining gorge. level, and after these three levels. There is another level that is more majestic, thicker, and more difficult to attack. On this level, there is a big flag hanging on it with a huge "Zhai" written on it! After seeing this scene in front of him, Li Mi felt that his chest was feeling tight. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then a fishy-sweet taste could not be resisted in his throat. He quickly took a deep breath, suppressed the feeling, and stabilized his shaky steps again. Then Li Mi heard Shen Luoyan exclaim again, and he glared at Shen Luoyan with great displeasure. If there was no way to get this woman in the future, he would have wanted to kill this woman who had become very strange since she was captured by the Sui army. He still looked in the direction Shen Luoyan was looking, and his heart was suddenly shocked. His vision went dark. He couldn't hold it in any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell down! Shocked, his bodyguards rushed to the rescue! Because he looked from the direction where the army was coming and saw a puff of smoke rolling up in the distance. It was obviously a large army that was rushing forward arrogantly. In front of the army, there was a larger military flag with a huge word "Kou" written on it. It was obviously Kou Zhong's army who was supposed to be working hard to reorganize the camp behind. Following closely behind his own army, he quietly approached! And my own army just demolished two damn levels with their bare hands! The 30,000 troops were ready and had been hunting for more than ten days, while the 5,000 troops were frightened. In an army battle where he ate cold dry food and drank cold water every day, ran for nine miles with all his strength, and demolished two shitty levels with his bare hands, who would win? So Li Mi could no longer hold back the huge frustration in his heart, couldn't stand it anymore, and collapsed in front of Shen Luoyan, Xu Shiji and other men. Once Li Mi fell, the morale of the army could no longer be restored. When Kou Zhong's soldiers shouted loudly: "surrender, surrender without killing", the military morale of Li Mi's army was broken to the extreme, especially since Li Mi's army once fought side by side with the remnants of Kou Zhong's Wagang Army. comrades. Someone even shouted loudly: "Wang Laoliu, you and I are close friends! You saved my life, Xu Laosan! Surrender! I promise you with my head on my neck! The fault is not yours, We won¡¯t kill you!¡± ¡°Grandpa Liu is here to find you! Let¡¯s surrender! I have roasted chicken and a good drink!¡± "Brother! Please stop resisting! We are the only two brothers left in our family If you and I die again there will be no one to continue our relationship!" " Amidst such shouts, Wagang's old tribe in Kou Zhong's army did not hold any swords at all. He was just wearing armor, holding hot food and hot wine in his hands, shouting loudly to find his former Relatives and friends earnestly persuaded him to surrender, and soon there was a commotion in Li Mi's army. Shen Luoyan closed her eyes slightly, and the wind messed up her hair, making her look haggard and pitiful. Xu Shiji held her cold little hand distressedly and said: "Luoyan, even if I die, I will I will stay by your side and never leave you!" Shen Luoyan glanced at Xu Shiji with a wry smile and said, "It's easy to die, but it's a pity for Mi Gong's legacy Ambition is hard to achieve, and there's nothing you can do about destiny" Uncle Wang Dang Ye's face was ashen, and he lost all the air of a double-gun general. He just bit his lip and asked: "Luoyan, you are our military advisor. When we are here, tell us what should we do now? " Shen Luoyan shook his head and said: "The only thing we can do now is to leave here quickly and save the secret master. Without the secret master, our army would not exist, let alone.?The future is uncertain. " At this moment, a weak voice came: "Don't think about it anymore. Surrender. I, Li Mi, rise and fall three times. If it is destined to be like this, I can't do anything about it. Even if we run away now, we can't escape far. I, Li Mi, am already fifty, how many more decades do I have left to fight for? He had followed Yang Xuangan in raising troops before, but later he defected to Da Longtou. It was because I felt that time was running out, and if I didn't seize the time, I might miss the opportunity for chaos in the world, I betrayed the leader who didn't want to make progress, and I felt really uneasy. And judging from the fact that we lost this war so cowardly, the Li Clan who went south to surprise Chang'an may be in danger. The Sui Dynasty will regain control of the world and it is just around the corner. We can no longer fish in troubled waters, so we might as well hold it in our hands. There are still two capitals left, so sell yourself at a good price I, Li Mi, betrayed Zhai Rang. I'm afraid there is no way out. You just go to see him with my head in hand. Although Da Longtou is not very talented, he is also A person with a kind heart and great face will definitely let you go I just ask you to let my useless son hide his name and live an ordinary life" As he said this, he actually left two lines of tears. Shen Luoyan looked at Li Mi's angry expression on the surface, but secretly tightened his grip on a long dagger at his waist. Obviously, Li Mi's words were just a test and bait. Who really wants to take him? With a head on his neck, I'm afraid whoever is going to be the first victim! Shen Luoyan suddenly became disheartened and couldn't help but laugh at himself. On the surface, he still knelt down in fear and cried bitterly: "We are all promoted by the secret father. Yes, Mi Gong has been kind to us. Even if we die in battle, we must keep Mi Gong safe! "Xu Shiji, Wang Bodang and other generals also knelt on the ground and expressed their loyalty to Li Mi. At this moment, a cold voice came from a high stone not far away: "Li Mi, don't worry. Surrender, I, Zhai Rang, promise not to kill you, nor will I kill your son. " Li Mi's eyes flashed fiercely, and he looked at Zhai Rang. He really didn't care about his head. After Gu Zhong ignored his head and focused all his attention on Kou Zhong behind him, Zhai Rang actually walked around the pass in front. When Zhai Rang came over, all the powerful crossbows and bows and arrows were pointed at Li Mi and others. Li Mi knew that what Zhai Rang actually wanted most was for him to resist stubbornly and refuse to surrender at all. In that case, he could kill him openly and honestly. Li Mi slowly let go of his hand on the long dagger and knelt down to Zhai Rang tremblingly. Three days later, the remnants of Li Mi opened the city gate and Kou Zhong opened the door. The army rushed in and Taiyuan City fell. Kou Zhongjun did not commit any crime. He only forcibly requisitioned all the pens, cloth piles, paint shops, etc. in Taiyuan City, forcing everyone in Taiyuan City to write letters of surrender, and then sent them to the city one after another. Chang'an City was sent over. At the foot of Chang'an City, Lord Li's tent had more than a dozen heads placed on the desk. They were all the heads of nobles that Li arranged to open the door. This shows that Li wanted to earn money from Chang'an City by opening the door. The plan has gone bankrupt, and the spies also sent a report that Yang Guang had appeared in Chang'an City at some unknown time, and a powerful army quickly took control of the city defenses, making it possible to quickly break through the city. It has reached an all-time low. They had worked hard all the way, as if they were idiots who came to die. Li Shimin was lying on the bed with a face like gold paper, watching the people in the tent quarreling coldly. Yituan said with a sneer: "Do they actually think they have a way out? The more you hesitate for an hour, the further you take one step towards death. If they continue to quarrel for a few more days, I'm afraid even the gods won't be able to save them anymore. " Chai Shao, who was standing next to him, was also very handsome and Li Shimin's best brother-in-law. He whispered: "Brother Shimin, don't you try to persuade them? " Li Shimin sneered: "Should I advise them? Now each of them wants to kill me and offer my head to the so-called national master to save his own life. How can I ask for trouble and take the initiative to jump out? " Chai Shao was also one of the group of people who were about to die, so he was very anxious. He usually admired the intelligence of his wife's brother, and of course he hoped that he could come up with a better way. He couldn't help but said anxiously: "Then look What should we do? "
