Xu Shiji also didn't expect that Luo Shixin would use such a strange move. Luo Shixin's head hit him squarely on the head, and the blood immediately spattered. Xu Shiji screamed in pain, and suddenly felt the world spinning. Everything in front of his eyes was blood red, and Luo Shixin's forehead was also full of blood. However, Luo Shixin did not give up. He shouted angrily, grabbed Xu Shiji's collar, and threw him over his shoulder.
When Xu Shiji was thrown by Luo Shixin, he immediately felt like he was flying in the clouds, and he was thrown heavily to the ground. However, it was precisely because of this fall that Xu Shiji sobered up a lot. When he looked up, Luo Shixin had just hit him. He hooked up the big gun with his feet and stabbed Xu Shiji's body with the big gun.
Xu Shiji was startled. He didn't care about his face anymore. He rolled on the ground and got through the belly of Luo Shixin's horse. He just happened to pick up the two swords he had dropped on the ground. With a wave of his hands, the swords flew directly to the ground. After cutting off all four legs of Luo Shixin's horse, the horse immediately neighed in pain, and Luo Shixin, who was sitting on the horse, staggered and fell off the horse.
Luo Shixin just fell down and felt a strong wind coming from the back of his head. Without thinking, Luo Shixin instinctively rolled on the ground to avoid the strong wind, but the sword in Xu Shiji's hand struck him. While turning over, Luo Shixin also kicked Xu Shiji's chest fiercely with his heel. Xu Shiji did not expect that Luo Shixin could fight back even at this time. Luo Shixin kicked him straight and took several steps back. Luo Shixin also turned over several somersaults before he stood firm. He raised the big gun in his hand, stared at Xu Shiji in front of him with red eyes, roared, and rushed towards Xu Shiji.
But Xu Shiji had no intention of backing down. He rubbed his chest and snorted coldly. He held the swords in his hands and held several sword flowers in his hands, ready to continue fighting. Xu Shiji originally wanted to rush towards Luo Shixin. If he continues to fight with him, although he has seen that he is no match for Luo Shixin, it is impossible for him to admit defeat. But at this moment, Xu Shiji just rushed out and took a step, but he seemed to suddenly remember something. , glanced around distractedly, and at this glance, Xu Shiji was immediately shocked. It turned out that at some point, the two thousand rebels he had brought with him had begun to collapse.
In fact, it is no wonder that the original combat effectiveness of the Royal Forest Army was even better than that of the Rebel Army, and with Pei Xingyan leading the battle, on the other hand, Xu Shiji, the only commander-in-chief of the Rebel Army, was entangled by Luo Shixin and was unable to command the battle. No matter how brave the Rebel Army was, There is no doubt that this battle will be lost. Although Xu Shiji is a little impulsive, he is not stupid. If all his troops are defeated, then he will no longer be able to escape. At that time, Xu Shiji did not care about the outcome with Luo Shixin. With a wave of the sword in his right hand, he picked up a handful of soil below and shot it directly towards Luo Shixin.
Seeing the dirt flying in front of his door, Luo Shixin immediately raised his big gun and shot the dirt away. However, this also slowed down his momentum. Xu Shiji also seized this opportunity, turned around and stepped on He grabbed his mount and shouted loudly: "Retreat, all retreat," while shouting, Xu Shiji waved his sword and severely slapped the mount on the buttocks. The mount immediately carried Xu Shiji and fled the battlefield quickly.
"Damn it," Luo Shixin didn't expect that Xu Shiji would run away. He didn't hesitate at all and wanted to pursue him, but his mount had already had its legs and feet cut off by Xu Shiji. Luo Shixin could only watch Xu Shiji escape. , even the remaining rebel soldiers of less than a thousand people fled the battlefield quickly. Luo Shixin was so angry that he jumped to his feet and cursed: "Xu Shiji, you coward, if you dare, come back and fight with your Grandpa Luo again." Three hundred rounds,"
"Shixin," a shout came from behind Luo Shixin, but Pei Xingyan, who was covered in blood, immediately stepped forward and persuaded Luo Shixin, saying: "Okay, don't chase after the poor enemy, don't forget, our mission this time , we just need to block the pursuers. Now that the vanguard of the thieves has been repelled by us, we should quickly catch up with the young master and the others and join them."
After hearing what Pei Xingyan said, Luo Shixin reluctantly gave up the idea of pursuing Xu Shiji. He even commanded his troops to clean up the battlefield briefly. In this battle, the Royal Forest Army could be said to have won a complete victory. Not only did they kill There were nearly two thousand enemy troops, and the casualties on his side were only three to four hundred. However, with such a result, Pei Xingyan frowned. The Imperial Forest Army was the most elite division in the world. Facing an army of thieves, Pei Xingyan frowned. The soldiers actually suffered as many as three to four hundred casualties. Apparently they had made a big mistake by confusing the rebels in Wagang Village with other rebels. No wonder the counter-rebels suffered so much in the battle at Dahai Temple. One lost.
However, Pei Xingyan only had this thought, and soon Pei Xingyan led the organized imperial army towards the direction Wan He and others left, leaving only a pile of corpses on the official road.
Soon, Xu Shiji led the defeated rebel army to join Shan Xiongxin's army. When they saw Xu Shiji covered in blood, Shan Xiongxin and Bing Yuanzhen were shocked, and they immediately clapped to greet him. After meeting Xu Shiji, Bing Yuanzhen asked directly: "Mr. Mao, what's wrong? Why do you look like this?"
Xu Shiji looked ashamed. Seeing the surprised expressions of Shan Xiongxin and Bing Yuanzhen, he lowered his head, clasped his fists and said: "Brother Shan, Yuanzhen, I, I, I am embarrassed. I was killed by the remnants of the counter-rebel army." Defeated,"
"What?" Shan Xiongxin and Bing Yuanzhen were both shocked. They couldn't figure it out. Xu Shiji was a fierce general in his own right and had three thousand brave and skilled rebels at his command. How could he be defeated so quickly and retreat after hearing that Xu Shiji However, Shan Xiongxin and Bing Yuanzhen knew very well that the counter-rebels had been severely weakened after the battle at Dahai Temple. Although they were now resting in Sishui Pass to recruit new soldiers, they had not recruited The new recruits could not be compared with the previous counter-rebellion troops. What's more, the officers and soldiers had to transport food, so how could Xu Shiji lose the battle? Shan Xiongxin looked at Xu Shiji in disbelief and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Mao." , please make it clear, are you sure that you were defeated by the counter-rebel army, how many soldiers and horses the opponent has, and how many grain trucks there are,"
Xu Shiji suffered such a huge defeat, and he was feeling angry. If others kept asking him how he lost this battle, I was afraid that Xu Shiji would fall out on the spot, but the person who asked this question was the person Xu Shiji respected the most. Xiongxin and Xu Shiji could only tell the story of the battle from the beginning with their heads down, and finally said: "The number of people who fought against our army should be less than three thousand, but they all seemed to be very powerful. As for the general who fought against me, I recognized that it was Luo Shixin who was fighting against the rebels. I didn’t seem to see the grain truck. Alas, as soon as I rushed up, I was entangled by Luo Shixin. I didn’t have time to look at the surrounding environment."
"Three thousand..." After hearing Xu Shiji's answer, both Shan Xiongxin and Bing Yuanzhen had expressions of astonishment on their faces. Being able to defeat the elite rebel army of 3,000 Waggang Village with 3,000 people would definitely not be possible. They were counter-rebel forces that had just been recruited into the army. However, if Shan Xiongxin and Bing Yuanzhen were to know that only 2,000 troops were able to defeat Xu Shiji's vanguard rebel army, one does not know what the expressions on Shan Xiongxin and Bing Yuanzhen's faces would be. .
"No," Bing Yuanzhen lowered his head and thought for a moment, then immediately said: "There is a large amount of grain transported from Luokou warehouse. Even if it is divided into a batch in Gong County, the grain transported will definitely not be only three. Thousands of men and horses can transport it, and Maogong did not see the grain truck, so it can be seen that these three thousand officers and soldiers must not be the counter-rebel troops who transported the grain truck. Could it be that the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers have arrived,"
There was a hint of surprise on Bing Yuanzhen's face. It seemed that only this explanation could make sense. However, Shan Xiongxin immediately rejected Bing Yuanzhen's guess and shook his head and said, "That's not right. If the reinforcements from the officers and soldiers arrive, , they will not let Mao Gong go, but will directly surround Mao Gong. I guess that the officers and soldiers may be divided into two groups, allowing the more than 10,000 rebels to transport food and continue on their way, leaving such a group behind. The men and horses came to stop Maogong's pursuit. Well, they can have such a strong combat effectiveness, even better than the original counter-rebellion army. It seems that the only one who is stationed in Luoyang is the Imperial Forest Army."
"Yu Lin Army," Xu Shiji and Bing Yuanzhen couldn't help exclaiming. Xu Shiji immediately recalled the appearance of the officers and soldiers, and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, those officers and soldiers were all wearing fine heavy armor. He is holding a spear, and it is really similar to the Imperial Guards I heard about. He must be the Imperial Guards. Damn it, no wonder he was able to defeat the rebels."
"The Yulin Army turned out to be the Yulin Army. That's not good. The Hunjun left 20,000 Yulin Army in Luoyang. Even if we have 50,000 troops, we can't meet the 20,000 Yulin Army, plus 10,000 to suppress the rebellion. Army, then we will definitely be defeated. Brother Shan, what should we do?" Hearing that the Imperial Guard Army had appeared, Bing Yuanzhen couldn't help but panic. The Imperial Guard Army's reputation was really too big, and Bing Yuanzhen didn't have that confidence. Able to defeat the Imperial Guard.
"Don't worry," Shan Xiongxin did not panic, but analyzed calmly: "I still said the same thing, if all 20,000 imperial guards were sent out, I'm afraid Maogong would be doomed this time. Obviously the imperial guards The number of people is not large. The three thousand people and horses are probably the limit. We can still deal with these people. Let's go, we will chase."
