Chapter 673: At the end of the road, a fight to the death

"My brother is dead, my apprentice is also dead......" In Wanqiu City, Wang Bodang's body was placed in front of Li Mi, Wang Bodang's face was very calm, and he seemed to walk very calmly, without a trace of pain.

Even if he put life and death aside, Li Mi also shed two lines of tears at this time, he looked at everyone's expressions, and said slowly: "I Li Mi has gone through the road that I should take in this life, I have triumphed, defeated, brilliant, and down... I was emperor for a few months, but I never surrendered, and I didn't want to... I take anti-Sui as my life's ambition, if I descend to Sui, I will become a laughing stock for the ages, reflecting the broad-mindedness of Yang Guang's descendants. Therefore, even if Yang Tong spares my life, I don't want to be like Xiao Mo and Dou Jiande. But this is my own decision Li Mi, from now on, the gate of Wanqiu City will be wide open, and those who want to leave, I will definitely not force them to stay. ”

"Who dares to go?" Sun Changle, who knelt in front of Wang Bodang's corpse and wept silently, said loudly: "Whoever dares to leave, I will kill whoever I want." ”

"Presumptuous!" Li Mi looked at Sun Changle with a calm gaze, and said sharply: "This is my decision, and the officials, soldiers, and people are not allowed to stop it." ”

"Whoa."

Sun Changle replied unwillingly.

Li Mi didn't say much, but picked up Wang Bodang's body, went straight back to the back house, and personally collected him into the coffin.

And the gates of the city, as he commanded, were kept open all night.

In the early morning of the next day, when Li Mi beat the drum and raised the tent, except for Sun Changle and other henchmen and Fang Xuanzao, all of them were clean, and there were only more than 3,000 soldiers left in the city of more than 70,000 soldiers in the city.

"Why doesn't the gentleman go?"

"Why did Wechen leave?"

"Haha, that's a good question." Li Mi laughed heartily and said: "It seems that I, Li Mi, am not too a failure, and there are so many people who are willing to accompany me on this last journey." The soldiers of the Great Wei went out of the city with me for a decisive battle. ”

"The last will obey."

……

When the Wei army went out of the city, Yang Tong already knew about it, and dispatched the most elite Xuanjia army, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Wei Chigong, Xue Wanche, Niu Jinda each led a guard of soldiers, Su Dingfang and Du Fuwei, Yao Junsu, Xin Fang'er, Li Zhengbao and other generals all went into battle.

The wonder of the troubled times does not lie in the chaos, but in the heroes and heroes who stand out in the war, they either fight for glory, or for the appreciation of their own lords and bloody battlefields, without regrets until death, or maybe they fight desperately for the sympathy between the generals.

But no matter what, from chaos to great rule in the world, in addition to hundreds of people who died, there are countless elites of the times who died for the heroes in their minds and for their ideals and glory. It is these people who have been bloody on the battlefield that have been born in abundance

Maybe no one will remember their dedication and loyalty in the future, but their lives are worthy of their hearts and live vigorously. As for what future generations say, they may never have cared.

The soldiers of the Sui and Wei sides fought for their recognized Ming lord and fought for their own glory, but their choices were different, and there was no difference between right and wrong.

Some people may say that they are stupid, but it is this stupidity that allows this nation to correct its own people again and again when life and death come, and keep it young forever.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

The two sides fought bloody battles outside the city, the blood mist filled the sky, the terrible screams were like death laughing in the sky, and a group of soldiers were cut down and trampled like straw, their necks were cut off, their heads rolled to the ground, and the ground was covered with flesh and blood.

Everywhere there were stumps and broken arms, corpses everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed everywhere.

Both sides of the enemy and our eyes are red, although the Wei soldiers fought to the end, but the Xuanjia army are one in a million brave men, for them, the battle is a commonplace, their combat effectiveness is not only in the equipment, combat experience, physical fitness is almost all aspects of the crushing Wei army, they are invincible under the leadership of a member of the marshal, the general, kill a bloody road.

Even the combat effectiveness of the ordinary soldiers of the Xuanjia Army is comparable to that of the captains of the Wei Army, and they are also good at coordinated operations, and they are more than enough to attack and protect themselves. Not to mention that there are also Luo Shixin, Wei Chigong, Pei Xingyan, Xue Wanche, Niu Jinda and other fierce generals fighting desperately, and although the Wei soldiers fought to the death, courage is not equal to combat effectiveness, from the beginning of the fight, they were in an extremely passive situation.

Therefore, although the battle was extremely fierce and bloody, it did not last long.

In less than half an hour, the war was over.

Except for the lonely Li Mi and Fang Xuanzao, none of the Wei troops survived, no one escaped, and all of them died in battle on this land watered red by blood.

"Holy Lord, Weichen has taken the first step." Fang Xuanzao bowed to Li Mi.

Li Mi smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll be there later." ”

Fang Xuanzao took out a porcelain bottle from his cuff and drank the medicinal liquid he had prepared in one gulp, and after a while, blood flowed from his mouth and fell to the ground with a smile.

Yang Tong walked up to Li Mi on foot, and looked at this hero, Li Mi is only more than forty years old this year, but he is already as old as an old man, and said with emotion: "Pushan Gong, we finally meet." ”

"yes, we're finally meeting." Li Mi looked at Yang Tong who was walking slowly, and said loudly: "There are not many people that I Li Mi admire, there were only Taiwei Yang Su before, but now there is one more of you." Emperor Shengwu, congratulations, you have won. ”

Yang Tong sighed: "It seems that you have made up your mind." ”

"In this world, you alone is enough." Li Mi said with emotion: "I, Li Mi, am pretentious, and I have spent half my life, thinking that I have made a career, but I only found out when I died that it was not me Li Mi who made it happen, but Brother Zhai, if it wasn't for him laying a solid foundation, I might not even have the qualifications to be your enemy, is this right?" ”

"Zhai Rang has no ambitions, and a small fortune is peace, if he is just an ordinary man, but he is the big leader of a force, and he has to think like this. If you hadn't been holding on, Wagang would have been finished. In fact, you are not weak at all, but after all, Wagang is a force composed of countless bandits and rogues, and it is difficult for you to achieve unified orders, and every time you fight, you must not only prevent the enemy, but also guard against 'your own people' stabbing in the back, which makes you miss a lot of good opportunities. In addition, you are not as good as me and Wang Shichong, if you rely on the Wagang heroes wholeheartedly, instead of giving a lot of power and benefits that should belong to them to the Kwantung clan, your situation will be better. Yang Tong said lightly.

Li Mi nodded, at this moment, he had a little indifference that could break through life and death, he sighed: "What Emperor Shengwu did is exactly the same as Wang Mang, and the difficulty is as difficult as climbing to the sky, but now it seems that it has succeeded, but unfortunately, I saw that day." ”

Yang Tong was silent when he heard this, for Li Mi, he couldn't say anything about surrendering, firstly, Li Mi would not, and secondly, he had to consider the feelings of Luo Shixin and others.

He looked at Fang Xuanzao's corpse, a trace of gentleness flashed in his eyes, and he smiled quite self-deprecatingly: "I have so many brothers in my life who are willing to live and die with me, what is not satisfied?" It's me asking for too much. ”

Yang Tong smiled: "Aren't all people like this?" ”

"Indeed." Li Mi nodded and said, "I have something to ask for." ”

"Say it."

"I hope you will be able to bury my brothers in peace."

"Your condition is not excessive, I promise you."

If it weren't for the corpses on the ground, the two would not be enemies, but rather a pair of old friends.

"Thank you." Li Mi solemnly bowed.

Yang Tong accepted this gift calmly and asked, "Do you want me to give you a ride?" ”

"No need." Li Mi shook his head and pulled out his sword and held it across his neck.

"Go all the way, 'go to Quantai to summon the old department, and raise the banner of 100,000 to kill Yama'."

"Haha, I hope so." Li Mi laughed a little heroically.

Yang Tong stopped talking, turned back, and behind him, a stream of blood splashed out, Yang Tong seemed to be aware of it and raised his head slightly, looked at the somewhat dark sky, suddenly there was a drop of rain on his face, and then heavy rain fell from the sky, Yang Tong said with some surprise: "It seems that this god is also seeing off Li Mi." ”

Su Dingfang, who was covered in blood, was also surprised by this sudden change in the sky, and said: "When I was in the Western Regions, the people there said that once some big people died, it would rain. ”

"What about the big guys?" Luo Shixin said with a smile: "Isn't it also too dead to die anymore?" ”

"You have a point." Yang Tong smiled and said to Luo Shixin: "I plan to bury Li Mi and his people together. What do you think? ”

"People die like lights go out, and everything that was past is gone." Luo Shixin smiled and said, "Li Mi has not lost his bearing until his death, and he is an admirable character. Master is in the spirit of heaven, and he doesn't want me, an apprentice, to be a bad person. ”

"Holy." Xie Yingdeng, Cheng Yanjin, and Xu Shiji, who did not participate in this battle, stepped forward to salute.

"Huh?"

"The last general and others had a brotherhood with Li Mi, Wang Bodang, Sun Changle, and Fang Xuanzao, and asked the Holy Grace Brigadier General to bury them." Xie Yingden pleaded.

"Quasi-play." As Luo Shixin said, people die like lights go out, of course Yang Tong doesn't care about anything, Xie Yingdeng and these people value love and righteousness, it is not surprising that they have this request, if they don't do it, it will make Yang Tong feel cold.

"Thank you, Holy Grace." Xie Yingdeng and the others breathed a long sigh of relief and bowed very gratefully.

…………

At this point, the war between Sui and Wei ended with the great victory of the Great Sui and Li Mi's self-slaughter, and the Wagang Army, the leader of the world's anti-thief alliance, who had been vigorously fighting in the Central Plains and the south for more than ten years, was completely finished.

The battle lasted less than two months, the duration was short, the end of the fast is shocking, although the southern Xin'an, Yuhang, Sui'an, Dongyang four counties are still Li Mi's territory in name, but for the Great Sui Dynasty, the Central Plains, Jianghuai has been unified, most of the world has fallen into the bag, but it is an indisputable fact, the remaining four counties are just in the bag, as long as Zhang Zhenzhou and Qin Qiong to destroy Lin Shihong, it is only a matter of time to recover, As for Meng Haigong, who is only in Yongjia and Jian'an counties, he must not be stupid enough to do something like a tiger's mouth, even if he really does this, it will only make his limited forces scattered in all directions, which is a good thing for the Great Sui.

It's just that the news of Li Mi's death in destroying the country is like a thunderbolt from the blue for the four remaining forces of Li Yuan, Lin Shihong, Meng Haigong, and Feng An.
