Wang Shichong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, although Li Mi escaped his life this time, at least our army won a great victory. Now we send an order to quickly withdraw from the battlefield and besiege Li Mi Cang City, which was besieged Yuecheng. If Li Mi Cang City could not kill Li Mi, he burned his granary and let him lose food!"

Wei Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Lord, although Li Mi has failed, the main force has not lost much. Now he is fleeing westward. What if he cleans up the remains and attacks us from behind?"

Wang Shichong said in a deep voice: "No, I can let Lai Chi continue to lead 5,000 infantry here to be on guard. He can't rush over. Unless Li Mi doesn't want Yuecheng anymore, otherwise if I come again, I can defeat him again. This time I will stop him from chasing him and will never give him a chance to save his life!"

Wei Zheng's brows were relieved and he said, "This is a good method, but lord, do you really believe that we can capture Yuecheng? It is where Li Mi's food storage is located, and he must have a tight defense. I see that in this stance, Li Mi also used this city as bait to lead us to raid. However, the lord set up a trick to defeat him. Now it is better to send cavalry to continue chasing him when his troops are defeated. Even if Li Mi can't kill him, he must destroy the 30,000 elite cavalry, which will greatly damage his vitality."

Wang Shichong shook his head: "The fighter has been lost. It is difficult to ride a horse on the Heliang Road, and it is even harder to chase after him. And after chasing him, it is close to Li Mi's Luoshui Camp. Today I asked Duan Da, Pang Yu and the others to attack there for a day, just to delay the Wagang army in the Luoshui area. But we are going to chase Li Mi now. I am afraid that Zhai Rang and the others will take action. It is too dangerous, so it is safer to attack Yuecheng."

Wei Zheng sighed, "Then the lord never thought that Li Mi might cut off our retreat? If our army attacked Yuecheng without compromising, then Li Mi could send troops to attack our rear, such as the Black Stone Camp. At that time, we would be in trouble."

A blue light flashed in Wang Shichong's eyes: "Xuancheng, what you said makes sense. Our army's deputy horse, baggage, and dry food are all in the Black Stone Camp. This time, thanks to Xiong Xin who attacked us, nothing happened. The new camp was established and there was no danger to defend. If Li Mi came to attack for a strong force, our army would be in trouble. Xuancheng, I will give you five thousand yuan of Qingnu's iron cavalry. You should go to the Black Stone Camp now and stay tuned and not fight. You must hold on until I capture Yuecheng and burn all Li Mi's food and grass, okay?"

Wei Zheng frowned: "Our army lost more than 2,000 people in this battle. Now there are less than 18,000 soldiers. Give me five thousand iron cavalry, plus the two thousand left behind. You have just exceeded 10,000 people here. Can you attack Okura, the next Yuecheng? Lord, why not retreat now. Today we have achieved our goal. No matter what, defeating Li Mi and killing Chai Xiaohe will be a great victory!"

Wang Shichong shook his head: "No, the purpose of this battle is to either kill Li Mi or burn all his stored grains. One of them must be taken. Now Li Mi is difficult to kill. I don't need to break through Yuecheng. I just use fire to attack Cang City and burn Cang City. Today may be the only opportunity for us to attack Li Mi's granary, and I cannot miss it. Xuancheng, please be sure to firmly guard the Black Stone Camp!"

Wei Zheng gritted his teeth: "Then the lord takes away five thousand cavalry, just give me three thousand infantry, and there are five thousand men who should be able to withstand for a while. If I really can't hold on, I will raise the beacon to ask you for help."

Wang Shichong smiled slightly, grabbed Wei Zheng's hand, and said, "Xuancheng, it's all up to you this time!"

The north bank of Luoshui, Yuecheng.

Xu Shiji was wearing a general's robe and his face was as deep as water. He stood at the top of the city two meters high, looking at the beacon fire a few miles away to the west, and sighed: "It seems that Mr. Wei was defeated this time. Sure enough, this is Wang Laoxie's poisonous plan."

Xu Gai, who was on the side, browsed: "Son, this time you volunteered to guard this Yuecheng. We originally thought we could cooperate with each other inside and outside to destroy Wang Laoxie in one fell swoop, but we didn't expect that things would turn out like this. Now that even Mr. Wei is defeated, we can't defend it. Let's retreat quickly while Wang Laoxie hasn't come yet."

Xu Shiji shook his head and said seriously: "No, Ada, the Wagang Army's grain reserves are all in Yuecheng. If we withdraw now, then Wang Laoxie will completely win. No matter what, I must keep here."

Xu Gai opened his eyes wide: "Even Duke Wei's army lost hundreds of thousands. How could our mere five thousand people defend Yuecheng?"

Xu Shiji smiled slightly: "I heard the sound of the battle just now, there were only tens of thousands of people. How could there be hundreds of thousands of troops? If there were so many troops, it would be impossible to fight at Heishitan so soon. The child thought that the Sui army would not have so many, and the Duke of Wei did not have to dispatch large troops. Both sides were dispatched to 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry. Of course, they were all elite soldiers."

Xu Gai's lips curled: "Even if there are only tens of thousands of people, it is much stronger than ours. This Yuecheng is a newly built Cangcheng, which is not strong. Our army has only 5,000 infantrymen, and it can't hold on for a long time. If we don't leave now, we may not be able to leave in a while!"

Xu Shiji shook his head and said, "No, the situation is not so bad. If Wang Laoxie had already harmed Duke Wei, it must have been promoted everywhere. Now they are still in a team and want to attack the city, it must be that Duke Wei ran away. If I were Duke Wei, I would definitely pack up the remaining troops and mobilize reinforcements from Luoshui Camp to fight back against Wang Laoxie. However, Wang Laoxie has no possibility of dispatching reinforcements. As long as we keep here, Duke Wei will definitely come to save us one day at most!"

A look of unspeakable flashed in Xu Gai's eyes: "You are really sure to hold Wang Laoxie down, even for one day?"

A hint of excitement flashed in Xu Shiji's eyes: "Ada, as a warrior, there is nothing more exciting than competing against a powerful opponent on the battlefield. The child has seen with his own eyes how Wang Laoxie used his troops like a god. This is a great pleasure in life!"

Xu Gai sighed: "Okay, what you said makes sense. The food and grass here are the foundation of my Wagang. If you can get it or burn it for Wang Laoxie, then the millions of troops will probably disperse in one go. Let us defend Cangcheng to the death and buy some time for Duke Wei."

Xu Shiji smiled slightly: "Please go to each granary quickly and supervise the warehouses of each warehouse to apply wet mud on the granary as soon as possible. It's too late!"

Xu Gai opened his eyes wide and said strangely: "Son, what are you going to wet the mud now?"

A divine light flashed in Xu Shiji's eyes: "Wang Shichong may not be able to conquer our Cang City with all his strength. He can shoot rockets with iron cavalry and infantry outside Cang City to burn our military rations. Now there is no time to transfer the food and grass underground, so he can only apply wet mud to prevent the fire from spreading! A Da, please!"
