Chapter 443: Late bloomer
Wang Bo led the army to break through, the night was blank, and in a panic, he was getting farther and farther away from his camp, looking back, it seemed that his camp had also fallen into chaos and fierce fighting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Suddenly, he felt that the general trend had gone, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he fled to the north with only the remnants of soldiers and horses, and decided to cross the Yellow River north to escape Zhang Xutuo's encirclement and suppression.
For those soldiers and horses that were not taken away, although Wang Bo was distressed, he did not regret it, because he deeply understood this kind of rabble that was temporarily recruited.
If the soldiers can rush forward when they win the battle, but once they lose, they will suddenly fall apart, and they will each want to flee for their lives, without a strict and detailed discipline and regulation to restrain them, and without backing to rely on, it will be difficult to really twist into a ball.
After Wang Bo fled, Meng Rang's camp was attacked by Zhang Xutuo with heavy troops.
Meng Rangshi heard the sound of fighting in the distance, and guessed that Wang Bo's reinforcements seemed to have been ambushed, and when he didn't understand the specific casualties of the other party, he didn't have the confidence to fight again, and he also broke through with elite soldiers and fled to the south.
At this time, if you don't care about others, saving your own life is the most important thing.
By dawn, the rain had stopped, and the ravines and ravines on the ground were stained with blood, and dead bodies were lying in the mud everywhere.
Stumps and heads were everywhere, many people were disemboweled, and the internal organs and filth all over the ground were extremely bloody and stinking.
The battle was over, and the Sui army was counting casualties, taking prisoners, and sorting out supplies.
Luo Shixin, Fan Hu, Cheng Zhijie and other generals gathered, and in front of General Zhang Xutuo, they reported their respective battle situations and returned to their lives.
"Our army suffered less than 5,000 casualties, but it defeated 70,000 or 80,000 rebels, captured more than 20,000 people, killed more than 15,000 enemies, and the rest of the thieves fled. Zhang Xutuo was very satisfied with this battle and won a big victory.
Tang Xiaoren clenched his fists and said: "General, I didn't find the bodies of Wang Bo and Meng Rang, it seems that I have broken through and fled." ”
Zhang Xutuo said: "Wang Bo fled to the north, our army rested for a day, and then continued to advance north, Dongping County, Wuyang County, Shangdang County, Xindu County, are the hardest hit areas of the rebellion, we will go north, and other rebels along the way can be suppressed." ”
Luo Shixin, Cheng Zhijie and others nodded, there were many rebels on both sides of the Yellow River, there were Sun Xuanya, Shi Qinjiao, Hao Xiaode, Zhang Jincheng, Gao Kaidao, Liu Badao's rebels in the north, and in the south by the sea, there were more than ten rebels such as Pei Changcai, Shi Zihe, Guo Fangpre, Qin Junhong, Zuo Xiaoyou, etc., which were very chaotic, and their opportunities for meritorious service were everywhere.
Zhang Xutuo smiled calmly, and did not put these traitors into his eyes, because he felt that the rebels were rootless duckweed, wandering around, lacking a stable base and backing behind them, without a steady stream of material and manpower support, inferior weapons, incomplete equipment, lack of strict military discipline and systematic official positions, there were big problems in scheduling, and the training was insufficient.

"The golden wind swings in the early festival, and the jade dew withers the late forest; On this night, the poor Tu Shi, Yu Tao was sad...... Qin customs are still unsettled, what will the Han Dao be...... Fan Xu's apprentice, Xiao He's knife and pen officer; Once the fortune will be passed down through the ages. Sending words to the world, it is really shameful to be born in vain. ”
Li Mi has been depressed recently, and he has worked hard to write a poem that he has never encountered.
Originally, after the failure of Yang Xuangan's rebellion, Li Mi and Wang Bodang fled for their lives all the way, bumpy, incognito, disguised, broke through the blockade and wanted by the government, and defected to Hao Xiaode, but they were not reused, and were even despised and neglected by Hao Xiaode, and they were not even given enough food.
Li Mi and Wang Bodang couldn't eat enough every day, couldn't eat enough, and were extremely depressed.
"Sir, this Hao Xiaode dog looks down on people and doesn't take us seriously, it's better to leave early to avoid this nest."
Li Mi nodded, he had heard that in the north and south of the Yellow River, there were thieves everywhere, and there were no less than twenty or thirty people raising the banner of righteousness, all of whom were recruiting people and horses to fight against the Sui court, so that the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress everywhere, so that Li Mi's limelight was overshadowed, and no one paid attention to him anymore.
"Bodang, we are angry here, which means that this place is not suitable for us to settle down, although there are many righteous soldiers, all of them have a righteous word, but most of them are bandits, except for being forced to confront the imperial army, there is no righteous act, burning, killing and looting, ** captivity is not less bad things, we can't take refuge in this kind of team."
Li Mi paused for a moment and continued: "Moreover, these so-called leaders of the rebel army are short-sighted, they are all from poor families, and their ancestors have no merit and culture. ”
Wang Bodang nodded: "Mr. said in Li'er, let's flee all the way, I heard a lot of rumors, among these rebels, it seems that Wagang Village near Weicheng has a reputation for being a benevolent and righteous teacher, I heard that Zhai Rang on the cottage is a big boss, recruiting a lot of heroes, Shan Xiongxin, Bing Yuanzhen, Xu Shiji, etc., are all tiger generals, and in the fight with the Sui army, they have made some fame, why not, I and Mr. went to the Wagang Army?" ”
"Wagang? Zhai Rang! Li Mi chewed for a moment and said: "I seem to have a hunch that this will be a place for us to live and develop, okay, let's go to Wagang Mountain and gather righteousness to fight against Sui!" ”
After the two discussed the countermeasures, they took the horses away, stole the coils, and quietly left Hao Xiaode's camp and blended into the vast night.

Luo Zhaoyun and Qingshuang were recuperating in the servant bone camp, their injuries had improved day by day, their skills had recovered a lot, and they could leave the grassland at any time.
It's just that because of the promise made at that time, Luo Zhaoyun decided to wait for the alliance meeting of the fifteenth division of Tiele to go before leaving, to see if there is anything that can help Tag and Kedun, and it is best to meet Kedun.
On this day, Raninatag came to the tent of the two.
"Ning Ze, things are a little tricky, this time Xue Yantuo really didn't have a good heart, brought some grassland warriors, it is said that there are masters of martial arts in Mobei, and at the conference, they will propose a quick duel in Balisu, that is, a wrestling competition, and they are determined to lose Kedun's face, and Xue Yantuo has brought a lot of soldiers and horses, and there may be some schemes, I am a little worried now." Tag looked a little anxious.
Luo Zhaoyun frowned and asked, "Will the Xue Yantuo people take the risk and sneak attack the royal department of the servant bones when the time comes?" ”
Lan Yina said: "It's not that this is not impossible, but Kedun and the chief of the servant bones are already discussing countermeasures, and have gathered 20,000 horses to guard the earth city, which is not so easy to handle, Xue Yantuo's people only have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, unless they sneak attack, otherwise, they can't take advantage." ”
"What day is the convention?"
"It's tomorrow at noon, the envoys of the fifteenth division of Tiele will have an alliance, there will be a polo bowing competition in the afternoon, and at dusk, there will be a bonfire meeting, there will be many performances, and there will be a link of the Bali speed duel!"
"Polo bow!" Luo Zhaoyun read a sentence, knowing that this was a game of riding horses and playing ball, and the Turks of the Sui Dynasty had already begun to become popular.
"Well, tomorrow the two of you will pretend to be my personal guards, participate in the alliance, and if you need your help, please help!" Lan Yina said sincerely, because she had already felt that this pair of men and women were not ordinary people.
