After being reminded by Wang Bodang, everyone realized that the counter-rebellion army had already approached the military formation of Wagang Village, especially the left and right wings. It was about to surround the square formation of Wagang Village. If it continued to delay, Wagang Village's phalanx would be surrounded. None of the soldiers and horses in Gangzhai will be able to escape.
Although Wang Bodang's words were correct, after hearing the words Pu Shanggong pop out of Wang Bodang's mouth, the corners of Zhai Rang's mouth twitched obviously. But he soon returned to his normal expression and said in a deep voice: " I will certainly keep Mi Gong's plan in mind. You don't need to remind me. I have my own way of fighting. Mao Gong, you and General Wang will retreat first. Yuan Zhen and I can hold the battle for Brother Shan here."
Xu Shiji was stunned at first, but he quickly followed the order and left. As for Wang Bodang, there was no reaction at all. He was even more straightforward than Xu Shiji. The two of them directly gathered thousands of people and retreated from the rear towards the south. Bing Yuanzhen looked at Xu Shiji and Wang Bodang's retreating back. But he couldn't help but said to Zhai Rang: "Master, this Wang Bodang obviously doesn't care about you. It's too arrogant. And... then Secret Duke..."
"No need to say it." Before Bing Yuanzhen finished speaking, Zhai Rang waved his hand and stopped Bing Yuanzhen. He said in a deep voice: "I know very well what Mr. Mi wants. But I don't care about any of this. As long as, as long as the Dog Emperor can be overthrown, even if Wagang Village is surrendered, I, Zhai Rang, have no objection. Yuan Zhen, there is no need to say anything else."
I heard that Zhai Rang was talking to this extent. Even if Bing Yuanzhen had something in his heart, he couldn't say it now. He knew very well how much Zhai Rang resented the imperial court. So, as long as he could overthrow the imperial court Zhai Rang didn't care about power at all. But Bing Yuanzhen was secretly worried about the current situation. Even if Zhai Rang was really willing to give in, would Li Mi believe it? He shook his head. Bing Yuanzhen dismissed all these thoughts. Get rid of it. The only thing he has to do now is to fight the battle in front of him. The rest is beyond the control of a small leader like him.
At this time, Luo Shixin and Shan Xiongxin had played against each other for hundreds of rounds. Although at the beginning, the two were neck and neck, but as time went by, Shan Xiongxin's experience advantage became apparent. Just as Shan Xiongxin said It is said that Luo Shixin's talent is indeed good, but unfortunately, he is too young. Slowly, Shan Xiongxin gained the upper hand. The golden nails and iron swords just kept attacking with the big guns.
"Drink." Luo Shixin shouted. Apparently he saw that he was already at a disadvantage, but he was not willing to just sit back and wait for death. He mustered up all his strength, brandished the big gun, and stabbed Shan Xiongxin on the head. He wanted to It was a final fight. But Shan Xiongxin saw through Luo Shixin's intention at a glance. He clamped his legs and took three steps back on horseback. He avoided Luo Shixin's attack. Then he waved his iron sword to face it. Luo Shixin just stabbed it.
His last desperate blow was in vain. Luo Shixin also knew that he was defeated this time. Although he was full of unwillingness, Luo Shixin was not the kind of fool who would fight even though he knew he could not win. The big gun feinted. One shot, but he turned the horse's head and ran back directly. When he saw Luo Shixin running away, Shan Xiongxin did not chase him. Instead, he laughed a few times and shouted loudly: "Boy, if you are not convinced, you can do it in the future." Come and fight."
"Brother Shan." Seeing that Shan Xiongxin won, Bing Yuanzhen also stepped forward with a happy face and said to Shan Xiongxin: "It's almost time. Let's get ready to leave."
After hearing what Bing Yuanzhen said, Shan Xiongxin also paid attention to the surrounding situation. The counter-rebellion army had already surrounded the military formation in Wagang Village. And those rebels were obviously no match for an elite division like the counter-rebellion army. Although it has not yet reached the point of defeat, it has already begun to show signs of defeat. Seeing this scene, Shan Xiongxin's joy of just defeating his opponent was also washed away a lot. He nodded vigorously and shouted: "Okay. Let's escort the big boss to break out. ." After saying that, Shan Xiongxin and Bing Yuanzhen walked back directly, met up with Zhai Rang's cavalry team, and broke out towards the south.
Let's say that after Luo Shixin was defeated by Shan Xiongxin, he ran back in despair. He just rushed out of the military formation in Wagang Village. When he looked up, he saw Zhang Xutuo directing the army to fight there with an indifferent expression. As soon as Luo Shixin saw Zhang Xu Tuo's face suddenly seemed to be roasted. He just wanted to dive into the ground. After hesitating for a moment, he finally rode up to Zhang Xutuo with a look of shame and clasped his fists at Zhang Xutuo. He shouted: "Commander, the last general is incompetent. He fought and lost."
"Haha. Victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers. Shixin, as long as you learn your lesson, don't worry too much." Hearing Luo Shixin's words, Zhang Xutuo chuckled. He watched Luo Shixin's fight with the opponent just now. In his eyes, even though he saw that Luo Shixin had lost, he did not send anyone to help him. Zhang Xutuo's martial arts skills were not as strong as Luo Shixin's, but his eyesight was very good. He could tell at a glance that Luo Shixin was no match for the thief. General, but there is no problem if he wants to escape. It just so happens that Luo Shixin is defeated. It can be regarded as polishing Luo Shixin's character. It is also another gain. As for Zhai Rang, Zhang Xutuo's eyes turned cold. In his opinion, this battle in front of Jindi Pass was Zhai Rang's last resistance. Even if Zhai Rang escaped this time, Zhang Xutuo was still confident. After Zhai Rang fled back to Wagang Village Before. Capture him.
Zhang Xutuo did not punish himself, which made Luo Shixin even more ashamed. He retreated to Zhang Xutuo's side. Luo Shixin secretly made up his mind. He must let Zhai be captured next time. This will save him today's shame.
"Commander." At this time, a tall tiger general came up on horseback. It was Fan Hu, the general in charge of the left wing of the army. Fan Hu clasped his fists at Zhang Xutuo and shouted: "Commander, the left wing has completed the outflank." .The commander-in-chief can order an encirclement and suppression at any time."
"Commander." Before Fan Hu could finish his words, another general came galloping towards him. Compared to Fan Hu, this general was not tall, but very stocky. He was responsible for the soldiers on the right wing of the army. Ma's general Tang Wanren. Tang Wanren shouted while running wildly: "Commander, the right-wing army has completed the outflanking. Please order the attack, Commander-in-Chief."
The counter-rebellion army is a victorious army carefully trained by Zhang Xutuo. There are countless tiger generals in the army, but Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin stand out. Apart from them, the young generals in the counter-rebellion army belong to Fan Hu and Tang Wanren is the leader. Even if they are not as good as Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, they are still very good generals. So at such a young age, Zhang Xutuo entrusted them with important tasks. When they heard that the two came to ask for orders, Zhang Xutuo He also nodded with satisfaction. He raised his head and looked forward. He once again confirmed the battle situation ahead. He saw that in front of Jindi Pass, except for Jindi Pass to the east of Wagang Village, the other three sides had been occupied by the counter-rebellion army. The encirclement was complete. Zhang Xutuo also had his eyes flashing. He even pulled out the sword from his waist and waved it forward. He shouted: "Attack the whole army. Don't let any thief escape. Kill."
"Kill..." As Zhang Xutuo said the last word "kill", the entire counter-rebellion army of more than 50,000 people shouted the word "kill" at the same time. For a moment, there was a loud killing sound in front of Jindi Pass. Oh my god, just this momentum alone frightened the already demoralized soldiers and horses of Wagang Village into a rout. No one of the twenty to thirty thousand bandits wanted to resist. They all dropped their weapons and ran away. This scene The battle was simply too easy to win.
In less than an hour, there were not even half a living bandit outside Jindi Pass. However, there were too many bandits this time. It was definitely impossible to annihilate them all. At least four to five thousand bandits broke through and escaped. .Including the main target this time, Zhai Rang.
After receiving the news from his sergeants, Zhang Xutuo was not too disappointed. Instead, he nodded and went directly to the outside of Jindi Pass. When he saw Zhang Xutuo coming in person, the guard of Jindi Pass How dare you hide? He immediately opened the door and came to greet the previous battle. The defenders of Jindi Pass had been hiding in the pass and did not dare to come out. The guard was very worried. Don't Zhang Xutuo wanted to grab him. Just live with this pigtail and come to settle accounts with yourself.
It was obvious that the guard at Jindiguan was trying to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. After seeing the guard coming out, Zhang Xutuo got off his horse and went up to meet him in person. He said to the guard: "General, you can guard it." Jindiguan. Only by not being taken advantage of by the traitors can Zhang have a chance to defeat the thieves. The general's contribution in this battle is not small. Zhang must register this contribution in a book and send it to the Eastern Capital. Please ask your Majesty to tell the general. Commendation.”
Zhang Xutuo's words were completely beyond the guard's expectations. The guard could not help but be stunned. But soon, the guard came to his senses. He got the recommendation of Zhang Xutuo, the victorious general of the Sui Dynasty. Then he would become famous this time. The guard general couldn't help but be overjoyed. He immediately bowed his head to Zhang Xutuo and said repeatedly: "General. General. General, thank you Marshal Zhang for your support."
Zhang Xutuo, however, waved his hand and said to the guard: "Zhang is just seeking truth from facts. A general does not need to be so polite. The thieves are powerful. The garrison at Jindi Pass is only a thousand people. If they go out to fight, it will be The general's ability to assess the situation before making the final decision is truly remarkable. Zhang will never ignore this credit."
Hearing what Zhang Xutuo said, the guard immediately became happy. With Zhang Xutuo's character, since he said this, he will definitely do it. When the guard thought that he would rise to the top in the future, then He was so happy. He made an invitation gesture to Zhang Xutuo and said: "Come, Marshal Zhang, please come in. The general has asked his subordinates to prepare a banquet for Marshal Zhang and all the soldiers who are suppressing the rebellion." We celebrated."
"No need." Zhang Xutuo waved his hand to refuse the guard general's warm invitation. Then he turned his head and stared south. He said in a deep voice: "Pursue while you are victorious. This is the principle of Zhang's art of war. This battle. I will not give up until Zhai Rang is captured."
