With the men and horses ambushed in the woods north of Xingyang Dahai Temple, listening to the spies constantly transmitting the situation in front of him, Cheng Yanjin was immediately full of admiration for Li Mi in his heart. When Li Mi quietly went to his mansion that day to invite him to come and conspire with him, Cheng Yanjin was not very happy to make this trip to the troubled waters.

After all, Zhang Xutuo is an important minister of the imperial court, and he is very worthy of today's reuse, because of his military exploits, he was promoted to the general guard of Qi County, and he also led the twelve counties of Henan Province to arrest the ambassador, and there are two brushes under his hands, don't fight the snake when the time comes, but suffer from it!

However, what Li Mi said to Cheng Yanjin at that time also made some sense, after all, this Zhang Sutuo was a militant, and he didn't know how many green forest heroes died in his hands before. If he is allowed to continue to kill like this, I am afraid that it will not be long before he, the chief leader of the East Road Green Forest, falls into his sight.

As the saying goes, 'people have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries', since there is a chance to kill this Sudra, then why not do it? As long as this fierce general dies, the officers and soldiers in Qingzhou will lose their strong leader, and they will be like a flock of sheep, and they can no longer threaten themselves.

In order to ensure that Zhang Xutuo was successfully killed in this rare opportunity, lest he escape and make a comeback in the future, Cheng Yanjin not only brought all the more than 1,500 martial arts masters of the Wind Department when he came to Xingyang this time, but also brought nearly half of his men and horses out, plus the allies that Li Mi temporarily invited from other places around him, as a result, there were more than 200,000 men and horses to besiege more than 20,000 elite soldiers led by Zhang Xutuo.

The number of people is ten times that of the other party, and they use tactics to surprise them, so they still can't reassure the generals of all walks of life. There is no way, the prestige of that Sutuo is too great. The heroes of the green forest who were defeated under him, I don't know how many anti-king bandit leaders there are. Therefore, as soon as the battle began, Cheng Yanjin sent a large number of scouts to inquire about the news on the battlefield.

Cheng Biting Jin's plan is very simple, if this Zhang Xutuo has no one in his eyes, is arrogant, and steps into the trap laid by Li Mi, then he will beat the water dog and lead the ambush to surround Zhang Xutuo to the death, and he must not be allowed to escape. And if that Zhang Sutuo saw through the trick and didn't get the trick, then Cheng Biting Jin would immediately lead the people of the headquarters to slip away and avoid it from afar. As for Li Mi and the others who stayed here, let them die!

However, receiving the battle reports that kept coming back from the front made Cheng Yanjin overjoyed. That Zhang Tuo really didn't take Zhai Rang in his eyes, perhaps because he thought that Zhai Rang was a defeated general under him, and that the current Wagang army was still as vulnerable as before. As soon as the two armies met, Zhang Xutuo ordered his soldiers to line up in a phalanx and kill Zhai Rang with arrogance.

The soldiers led by Zhang Xutuo really deserved to be called elite, and Li Mi originally meant to ask Zhai Rang to feign defeat and retreat and lead Zhang Xutuo into a trap. The result was good, the thousands of forwards of that Zhang Sutuo were extremely brave and fierce, and with thousands of people against Zhai Rang's tens of thousands of horses, they did not fall behind at all. Not long after the two armies started the war, Zhai Rang couldn't resist it, so he had to fight and retreat, all the way to the direction of Dahai Temple.

Cheng Yanjin quietly ambushed in the woods with his men and horses, watching Zhang Xutuo, who was pursuing with victory, rushed over with his men and horses, until all the officers and soldiers stepped into the trap, and an order sounded, Cheng Yanjin immediately took the men and horses to attack quickly, cutting off Zhang Xutuo's retreat. At the same time, Zhai Rang, who was defeated in front, had also regrouped his troops and horses and was waiting in front of him. The left and right sides also killed two teams of men and horses with the order, and more than 200,000 troops finally surrounded Zhang Xutuo here.

Surrounded by many people, Zhang Xutuo knew that he had fallen into a big trap, and this Zhai let there be another master behind him, calculated his temperament, and made such a big trap for him to step on. However, what Cheng Yanjin didn't expect was that Zhang Sutuo was worthy of being a famous general in the world, and when he found that he had fallen into the encirclement, he did not immediately lead his troops back and retreat, but continued to rush towards Zhai Rang's army in front of him in one go.

Zhai Rang was already scared by him, and the men and horses under his hands were also organized by the rout just now, although there were many people, but the combat effectiveness was extremely poor. Seeing Zhang Xutuo rushing over with his elite soldiers viciously, Zhai Rang and his soldiers who were blocking in front of him were suddenly in chaos, and only stopped for a moment before Zhang Xutuo broke the camp apart.

Seeing that the situation was in danger, that Zhang Xutuo could break out of the encirclement at any time, and Cheng Yanjin, who led the soldiers and horses to block Zhang Xutuo's back road in the back, was anxious, and simply ordered his infantry to continue to surround him steadily, while he rushed into Zhang Xutuo's army on fast horses with thousands of martial arts masters from the Wind Department.

Splitting the two axes of the officers and soldiers who were blocking in front of him, Cheng Yanjin led the group of cavalry straight towards Zhang Xutuo in the distance. Although the people led by Cheng Yanjin were all martial arts masters, due to the desperate obstruction of the officers and soldiers along the way, a lot of effort was delayed, and as a result, Cheng Yanjin could only watch Zhang Xutuo, who was already close at hand, kill him covered in blood.

Chopping the officers and soldiers who stopped in front of him to death with an axe, Cheng Yanjin looked at Zhang Xutuo, who rushed out of the encirclement, and wanted to hack to death Zhai Rang and his subordinates, who were in charge of interception. So many people spent so much energy, just to be able to stay here forever, but Na Zhai was cowardly and incompetent, unable to organize effective resistance, and was escaped by that Zhang Sutuo without danger.

Although it is said that because Cheng Yanjin came with his cavalry first, he blocked the opening that Zhang Xutuo rushed open in time, so that most of the men and horses led by Zhang Xutuo failed to escape. But what is the use of killing all these blocked officers and soldiers? That Zhang Sutuo alone is comparable to a million soldiers and horses. Even if the 20,000 officers and soldiers in front of him who claim to be elite all die cleanly, it cannot be called a victory!

The main purpose of this campaign is to kill Zhang Xutuo, as long as he can successfully kill him, even if more than 20,000 officers and soldiers run away, it doesn't matter. A pack of wolves that have lost their head wolf, even if they face a pack of sheep, will not be as invincible as before.

Looking at Zhang Xutuo, who had already run a little far, Cheng Yanjin knew very well that there was Zhai Rang and his men and horses running around in front of him, blocking the road of pursuit, that is, the road in front of him was unimpeded, and with Zhang Xutuo's super skill in the unity of men and horses, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream if he wanted to lead the men and horses to catch up.

If you jump off the horse and use your internal strength to hurry, it is possible to catch up, the problem is that Zhang Xutuo himself is a martial arts master, and most of the people who rushed out with him are masters who have stepped into the martial arts.

glared fiercely at Zhai Rang, who was a little panicked next to him, Cheng bit Jin's luck and internal strength, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, surround all these dogs of the imperial court, don't let any of them go!" All of them lit sky lanterns to avenge our dead brethren! ”

Seeing the figure running in the distance slowly stopped, and then turned the horse's head and ran back, Cheng was overjoyed when he bit Jindeng, this Zhang Sutuo was really as the intelligence said, and he treated his soldiers with heart and affection. Although Cheng Yanjin's words just now were a bit angry, the main purpose was to hope that Zhang Sutuo would change his mind because of this and run back to die.

Although it is extremely shameless to use Zhang Xutuo's weakness of loving nurses and soldiers to force him to comply, Cheng Biting Jin would rather be shameless. This Sutuo was extremely loyal to the imperial court. That Yang Guang has made the world miserable, and the people who can't bear it have to rise up one after another. But this Sutuo doesn't ask the reason, as long as he dares to resist the forces of the imperial court, he will not let go, and he doesn't know how many unjust souls died under his hands.

Although it is said that this Zhang Sutuo also opened a warehouse to release grain and relieve the victims, relatively speaking, more people died under his hands. Moreover, if he let him go today, he will not be grateful to Dade for letting go of these people present. It is better for him to die than to die himself, so in order to seize this fleeting opportunity, Cheng Yanjin had no choice but to resort to this shameless method.

Waving his hand to order the cavalry behind him to disperse, watching Zhang Xutuo, who had already fled, come in with his subordinates again, Cheng Yanjin had admiration in his eyes, but more regret. It's a good thing to love your soldiers and be able to live and die with them, but to run back knowing that you are going to die is not bold, but super stupid.

This idiot doesn't want to think about how he will take revenge if he dies here! Isn't there a saying that has been widely circulated in the rivers and lakes, 'Keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood!'" "It's a shame that this guy is still a master of martial arts, and with this brain, it's a miracle that he can survive until now."

Although he refused to admit it in his heart, Cheng Yanjin knew that he actually admired this Sutuo, but admiration is admiration, and what should be done still has to be done. Putting Zhang Xutuo in, watching him and a group of subordinates converge, Cheng Yanjin waved his hand, and the thousands of martial arts masters behind him instantly blocked the road tightly.

Wielding two large plate axes, Cheng Biting Jin struggled to block the weapons that Zhang Xutuo slashed in. Strictly speaking, this Sutuo's internal strength cultivation is a lot more than a trip to bite gold, but after all, this person is from the military, and his body is contaminated with a killing aura, and with his sharp moves, it gives people an extremely terrifying feeling. As a result, during the period when the two had just fought, Cheng Biting Jin not only couldn't help Zhang Xutuo, but often fell into danger and was almost seriously injured by him.

However, it is a pity that not all of Zhang Xutuo's subordinates are as brave as him, under the attack of those martial arts masters of the Wind Department under Cheng Yanjin, and under the onslaught of the superior forces of the surrounding rebels, they suffered heavy casualties. Although Zhang Xutuo also took advantage of the kung fu of repelling Cheng to bite the gold and command his subordinates to make several fierce breakthroughs, but his subordinates were already turtles in the urn, surrounded by more than 200,000 righteous troops, the inner three layers, and the outer three layers, as a result, the breakthrough had no effect, but his subordinates fell to the ground one after another, and there was not much left.

Zhang Xutuo saw that the general trend had gone, and the defeat was irretrievable, so he immediately looked up to the sky and sighed, "I, Zhang Xutuo, have been fighting horses all my life, but I can't imagine that I was defeated in the hands of a group of grass cowards, and now I have the face to go back alive!" "Draw your sword and kill yourself.

Looking at Zhang Xutuo's body falling to the ground, Cheng Yanjin sighed, flew up from his horse, and kicked out a guy who was going to cut off Zhang Xutuo's head with a weapon. Falling to the ground, Cheng Yanjin glared at the subordinates around Zhai Rang. Scared them away, Cheng Biting Jin Yun shouted internally, "Zhang Xutuo has been given the head, you will immediately put down your arms and surrender, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

The voice spread far away, looking at the corpse held high by Cheng Yanjin, the surrounding officers and soldiers were shocked, and the weapons in their hands fell one after another, "Dashuai, Dashuai!" After shouting a few words, these officers and soldiers fell to the ground in this chaotic battlefield and wept bitterly.
