Chapter 577: Fighting the Rebellion
The Wagang army emerged in endlessly, divided into many forces, sword and axe men, archers, long soldiers, light cavalry, heavy armor soldiers, etc., impacting the ranks of the Sui army, the front army had more than 20,000 people, but unfortunately there was no general in the middle to command, because Luo Shixin took dozens of horsemen to pursue the enemy's tail, and did not command the army in his proper position, which was a dereliction of responsibility.

Cheng Zhijie was worried that Luo Shixin would be killed, so he brought more than 1,000 cavalry to the rescue, so the 20,000 former army suddenly lost their backbone, and they were at a loss, and they really couldn't figure out why there were ambushes here.
Just now, they all thought that victory was in sight, they could slaughter the Wagang army, and they were about to win a complete victory and annihilate this remnant enemy army.
"Kill all these court minions!"
"Avenge the death of my brother—"
At this time, the Wagang army was very powerful, like a tiger out of a cage, showing its claws and pounced on its prey.
The Sui army was impacted by the elite main force of the Wagang army, cutting vertically and horizontally, the formation was already chaotic, the morale was greatly affected, and the combat effectiveness was suddenly weakened by several points.
One side waited for work, preserved its strength, and attacked suddenly, while the other side fought for a long time, catching up, and was exhausted long ago, all supported by the excitement of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions.
"Ahh Luo Shixin burst out with amazing strength at this time, and he actually struggled to get up from the fishing net, and more than a dozen people around him pulled the rope, all of which were flying up by him.
Seeing this, the pikemen in ambush did not care about the order to capture this person, and all of them stabbed him with their guns, because this person was too ferocious, and he chased after him on horseback just now, and killed many Wagang soldiers with his hands, so they all held a grudge against him.
Luo Shixin's horse lance had already been taken off, and at this time, with his bare hands, he used the fishing net above his head to roll back and forth to block the attack of the enemy soldiers, even so, several people were kicked by him at close range, directly kicked and broke their ribs, kicked and injured their heads, and were either dead or injured.
Sergeant Wagang was red-eyed, clenched the spear, and kept stabbing through, there were spear edges and spear tips in all directions, although Luo Shixin was brave, but his fists were difficult to defeat dozens of shots, and the main thing was that his activities were limited, and he had no weapons, so it was inevitable that he was hit by the gun, and there was blood.
"Get out!" Luo Shixin yelled, took the opportunity to hold the end of the spear, used it to lift, and directly lifted several people away, but he was still not seriously injured.
"Let's get on it!" A captain of the Wagang Army shouted loudly and stabbed again with dozens of people, which made Luo Shixin tired of coping, and there was more and more blood on his body.
When Cheng Zhijie saw this scene, he gritted his teeth and rushed to kill the obstacles ahead, wanting to save Luo Shixin.
………
At the same time, Zhang Xutuo's main army was also thrown into it and was besieged.
Li Mi, Xu Shiji, Deng Bao, Jia Xiong, Cai Jiande and others concentrated their forces to attack Zhang Xutuo's army, with guns and halberds held high, brave and fearless, like a tiger and wolf army.
The drummers in the rear beat the war drums vigorously, and the sound was so loud that the Wagang soldiers naturally flowed with excitement and blood in their bodies after hearing this, and they no longer felt the pain and pain, and only cared about desperately killing the enemy.
Zhang Xutuo's soldiers and horses showed a blank look at this time, and there was some panic in their eyes, at this time, their psychology was no longer that the iron man was not afraid of death, but like ordinary people, they longed for life and did not want to be buried here.
In fact, this year's southern expedition to the north, the imperial court is becoming more and more hopeless and promising, as the imperial court army, their will is also depressed, if it is not for Zhang Xutuo's jurisdiction, love soldiers like sons, strict military discipline, pacify the place, protect the peace of the people, so that the children of Qi County can work hard, change to other Sui generals, it is difficult to command the army to go out to fight.
Many soldiers were no longer willing to serve the imperial court, unless the Sui generals who seized one side increased their rewards and bribes to win the hearts of the people.
"Kill—"
The piercing sound of knives and guns rang out, accompanied by the neighing of war horses, the howl of soldiers, the blood-stained robes, the horse leather shroud, and the blood brought up by the canopy was like a flower blooming in an instant.
In the bloody storm, the most elite of the Wagang army, and the middle soldiers and a few elites of the Sui army, engaged in the most tragic frontal fight.
After a long time, the Sui army's position began to be chaotic, no longer as neat and orderly as when the phalanx advanced in the morning, and some people even did not launch a counter-charge, but instinctively gathered together, ready to break through and escape.
They could no longer see the commander, they could not see hope, there were ambushes all around, and the soldiers of the Sui army began to despair.
Zhang Xutuo and his pro-army were rushed by an iron cavalry at this time, and they wanted to behead him.
Xu Shiji, Wang Junyi, and Xing Yiqi led many military attachés to besiege Zhang Xutuo, but Zhang Xutuo's martial arts were amazing, holding a mixed iron lance of more than 60 catties, mighty and brave, and five or six people besieged him, but they couldn't help him.
Zhang Xutuo was dressed in heavy armor, burly, with great strength, superb martial arts, and rushed to kill with his own soldiers, and rushed out of the encirclement after a while.
However, Zhang Xutuo turned around and found that only seventy or eighty people followed behind him, and the rest were all trapped, Luo Shixin, Cheng Zhijie and others were all in ambush.
General Lou Jing, the commander of the guard, said with palpitations: "Marshal Zhang, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, let's go back to Xingyang City quickly." ”
Zhang Xutuo shook his head, if he fled back like this, the whole army would be wiped out, and the marshal would become the commander of the light pole, which Zhang Xutuo could not accept, an army of 50,000 was too difficult to cultivate, especially in this troubled era, he was unwilling to give up these soldiers like this, and definitely went back and rushed out with more generals and soldiers.
"There are still many people who have not escaped from the predicament, follow me and kill back!" Zhang Xutuo roared, his black face flashed with murderous aura, and he pounced into the encirclement again, wanting to break out with the besieged pro-army.
After Zhang Xutuo had just dispersed a group of enemies, but a scream came from beside him, he looked in horror, and saw Lou Jing, the commander of the personal guard who had followed him for many years, turned over and fell from his horse, and gave a spear from piercing his body, entering from his vest, and coming out of his chest, and died directly.
A captain of the Wagang army led a large group of men and horses to surround him from the side, and someone shouted: "Zhang Xutuo is here, capture and kill this person, and the Sui army will be destroyed!" “
