The sky was haze, and blood stained the loess high slopes of ten miles. The broken flags of the Dashun Army were everywhere. Looking around, they were covered with broken shields and broken swords and guns.

The vulture soared over the loess high slopes, the north wind howled, and several meters of sand and dust were raised.

The 25,000 Dashun Army were stained with yellow soil, and less than 5,000 people survived, and the old camp was covered with horses and horses.

Li Zicheng rolled his sword and turned to a long spear, looked around the tragic battlefield, and saw red in front of him.

"Everyone follows me to break through the siege. Anyone who returns to Mizhizhai will bring back the news here. No matter what, you must not surrender to the Xianbei people. This is the bottom line!"

Li Zicheng roared and led the remaining 5,000 Dashun Army to break through!

Although Li Zicheng had ambitions, Li Zicheng never considered surrender, and no matter what, he could not surrender to the Xianbei.

"kill!"

Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo was filled with anger in his chest, and he roared from the heart, following Li Zicheng and breaking through the back of the mountain!

The reason why Li Zicheng chose to fight Tuoba Tao's Xianbei cavalry in the mountains was that in addition to using the mountains to limit the mobility of the Xianbei cavalry, he could also escape into the mountains in unfavorable circumstances.

The soldiers of the Eight Hundred Battalions protected Li Zicheng, Li Guo and other Dashun Army generals, and rushed to kill and defeated the layers of interceptions of the Northern Wei army.

"Those who block me will die!"

Li Zicheng used a gun to attack a Northern Wei general and stabbed him to death within ten moves!

Li Guo and other generals of the Dashun Army all had red eyes and let out wild beasts roars, one after another. Every time they took a step forward, at least a dozen people fell down!

"Stop them!"

Dozens of Northern Wei generals who besieged the Dashun Army were also furious and tried their best to intercept Li Zicheng!

Tens of thousands of people were crowded on the narrow mountain, and it was not so easy for Li Zicheng to get out.

"Don't want to leave!"

Yang's big eyes were like a tiger, and he was reluctant to leave Li Zicheng.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Li Zicheng, who was fighting and leaving, let out a painful cry, and a flowing arrow shot Li Zicheng in the calf. Li Zicheng staggered and almost fell down.

The female general Pan Baozhu scored every opportunity, and with her superb riding and shooting, she injured Li Zicheng!

"Quickly, leave the King of Break!"

The old camp soldiers quickly carried the injured Li Zicheng on his back.

"Li Guo, you are clearing the way ahead!"

"yes!"

Li Guo thrust a long spear and killed several rows of Xianbei people. Through layers of blood waves, his eyes suddenly became clear!

"Finally broke through the siege!"

Li Guo was almost exhausted, and finally killed rows of Xianbei soldiers and broke through the siege.

"King of Breaking!"

Suddenly, the screams of old camp soldiers came from behind.

Li Guo looked back and Li Zicheng had been besieged by a group of Xianbei people!

Several ferocious Northern Wei generals joined forces to kill the injured Li Zicheng!

Li Zicheng had a good military strength, but he was not a match for a group of Northern Wei generals under the pretext of injury.

The powerful King of Rebellion Li Zicheng was defeated and died in the battle with the Xianbei people in the northern part of Mizhizhai!

"No!"

When Li Guo saw Li Zicheng dead in battle, he lost control of his emotions.

He was Li Zicheng's nephew. He followed Li Zicheng to fight in the south and north and established Dashun. Under Li Zicheng's subordinates, he was equivalent to his adopted son. At this time, he was very sad and angry when he saw Li Zicheng die in battle.

"Sir, don't act irritably at this time!"

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!"

"The King of Chuang is dead, only General, you can take charge!"

Seeing that the wood was already in its boat, Li Guo's soldiers were furious and were useless, so they carried Li Guo away from the battlefield, fled into the mountains, and took a small path back to Mizhi Village.

"Lord, the thief leader Li Zicheng was killed by the generals. Except for hundreds of people who escaped, the rest of the Dashun Army, etc., would either die in battle or surrender."

Dozens of Northern Wei generals asked Tuoba Tao for credit.

Tuoba Tao frowned: "Didn't I order Li Zicheng to be captured alive? How did I kill him?"

"On the battlefield, there is no eye-catching sword and fighting life and death. Li Zicheng is unwilling to surrender and fights with us, so he can only kill him."

"Forget it, since Li Zicheng is dead, he will lose his value. Take Mizhizhai quickly and don't give Zhang Hua a first step."

Tuoba Tao still missed that Zhang Hua's power would act at the same time.

If Zhang Hua conquered Mizhizhai, Tuoba Tao could only steal the population north of Mizhizhai at most, and could not make up for the losses of leading 100,000 cavalry southward this time.

In order to annihilate Li Zicheng's 5,000 old battalions and 20,000 Dashun Army and kill Li Zicheng, Tuoba Tao paid a considerable price and fought with Li Zicheng for several days before he could barely decide the outcome.

Tuoba Tao cannot make up for the losses with this little gain alone.

Only by capturing the grain where Li Zicheng set up his house and plundering the grain and grass can he obtain supplies.

"Leave a team of soldiers and bury Li Zicheng with great strength. This person is also considered a hero of a generation."

"The soldiers are resting here for a night, and then follow me to capture Mizhizhai!"

Seeing that many soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty fought against Li Zicheng for a long time, Tuoba Tao ordered a night of rest, to raise his energy, and feed the war horses.

"It's okay to capture Li Zicheng alive, but it's difficult to die."

Tuoba Tao's military advisor fell into deep thought and realized that the consequences of Li Zicheng's death may affect the entire situation.

In Mizhizhai, Gao Guiying led the Zhongzhen Camp and the Dashun Army to fight against Zhang Hua's Xia army.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the bloody battle lasted for a day. Zhang Hua, who was eager to win, was still unable to capture Mizhizhai.

Mizhizhai is the main city carefully built by Li Zicheng, and it is also the place where Li Zicheng hoarded food and grass. Therefore, the defense is strictly carried out, and all kinds of urban defense fortifications are available.

Gao Guiying's loyalty camp is not an easy-to-deal military force. It relies on the various attribute bonuses of a large number of fortifications to withstand the most fierce offensive of the Xia army.

Zhang Hua was eager to capture Mizhizhai before Tuoba Tao arrived, so the offensive on the first day was extremely fierce.

Gao Guiying still persevered.

"I underestimate Gao Guiying and Zhongzhen Camp. Gao Guiying's Zhongzhen Camp and Li Zicheng's old camp are all elite soldiers of the Dashun Army, so it must make sense."

"Wang Ping's Wudang Flying Army went to guard the mountain road in the north to prevent Tuoba Tao and Li Zicheng from going south quickly after deciding the victory."

Zhang Hua failed to capture the Mizhi Village guarded by Gao Guiying, so he set up camp outside the Mizhi Village and sent Wudang Feijun to the north to guard the mountain road to ensure that there was no accident.

Everything cannot always go smoothly, and it is reasonable to see a city that cannot be captured quickly.

However, Zhang Hua already has a preparatory plan.

"With a group of troops blocking the mountain road on the north side, the rest of the troops continued to attack Mizhi Village until they captured this village and act as a barrier on the north side."

Zhang Hua summoned all the generals to stabilize the morale of the army.

The strong attack on Mizhizhai was fruitless for a day, and the morale of the Xia army would inevitably decline.

If the strong attack cannot be captured for several months, the soldiers will still feel resentful and may even mutiny.

In 1161 AD, the deposed Emperor Wanyan Liang of Jin led his troops south to attack the Song Dynasty. He was defeated by Yu Yunwen, a civil minister of the Song Dynasty at Caishiji. However, he insisted on crossing the Yangtze River and ordered that the crossing of the river in three days would not be allowed, and all the ministers followed him were executed.

As a result, Wanyan Liang caused a mutiny and was killed by the rebels.

Zhang Hua knew the lesson and could not overcome the difficulties. He immediately sootheed people and boosted morale slightly.

At least, the current situation is beneficial to Zhang Hua's side.

Zhang Dachuan rushed into the camp in a hurry: "Anti-report! Tuoba Tao and Li Zicheng fought in the northern mountains for four days, and the winner was decided. We didn't stop at night and peeked on the battlefield. Li Zicheng's troops were almost wiped out, and only a few hundred people fled into the mountains. We captured a few Xianbei cavalry alive, and it was rumored that the King of Rebellion Li Zicheng had died in battle!"

"Li Zicheng died in battle?"

"This Tuoba Tao is really fierce. He fought with Li Zicheng for four days and even killed Li Zicheng. The force of the Tuoba Xianbei tribe is amazing."

"Tuoba Tao's Northern Wei army had just experienced a bloody battle with Li Zicheng, and must have been exhausted. They will rest for a night and then head south tomorrow. Therefore, the next day we have to face Tuoba Tao and besiege Mizhizhai, which will be a fierce battle."

Zhang Hua speculated about the time of Tuoba Tao's march.

Even if Tuoba Tao uses his troops radically, any soldier and horse fight with Li Zicheng's Dashun Army for four days, it is impossible to go south directly unless Tuoba Tao wants to trigger a mutiny.

If Tuoba Tao let the exhausted soldiers rest, then he would have to go south the next day at the earliest.

Zhang Hua's Xia army attacked Mizhizhai for one day and also needed rest.

Wang Shouren closed his eyes, as if thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, Wang Shouren opened his eyes: "Ming Gong, Li Zicheng's death is a good thing for us."

"How do you say this?"

"Li Zicheng died at the hands of Tuoba Tao. The remaining soldiers of the Dashun Army will definitely be full of resentment towards Tuoba Tao, especially the relatives of Gao Guiying, Li Guo and other Li Zicheng. Once Li Zicheng died, Gao Guiying became the nominal leader of the Dashun Army. Gao Guiying and Li Zicheng had a good relationship, and Gao Guiying must have thought about how to avenge Li Zicheng. With Ming Gong's wisdom, it should not be difficult to imagine how to deal with it."

Wang Shouren looked at Zhang Hua, and he believed that Zhang Hua, who is capable of proposing "quantum mechanics" corresponding to "mind learning", would not be difficult to make decisions.
