Zhang Xutuo saw that the Wagang Army had finally collapsed, and a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, his plan had been realized, and he attacked the large camp in the rear of the Wagang Army, not to mention that the Wagang Army was just a rabble of peasant troops, that is, the regular army, in the face of such a situation, it was only passively beaten, and the army's heart collapsed.

"Marshal Zhang, Li Mi personally fled in the direction of Daihai Temple with the remnants of his troops." The partial general Jia Wubence rode over to pray.

Zhang Xutuo frowned, although he calculated the development of the situation in front, but he did not calculate the escape route behind.

He asked Fan Hu to take 5,000 soldiers and horses in advance and place them in the rear of the Wagang army camp on the only way to Jintiguan, but Li Mi changed his route and bypassed the ambush circle they had set up.

Zhang Xutuo thought about it for a while, thinking that Li Mi still had some ability, and he might be worried that he would be ambushed if he fled the same way, so he took it by surprise and broke the ambush circle he had set up.

"Marshal, the Wagang army is breaking up and fleeing, to chase or not to chase?"

Zhang Xutuo glanced at it, Li Mi fled in front with less than 20,000 complete phalanxes, and there were still 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers running to flee for their lives, this was a rare opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Wagang Army, and capture Li Mi and others alive, completely solving the rebellion in Shandong and Henan.

If the turmoil in the hinterland of the Central Plains can be suppressed, the Great Sui will still be able to regain its vitality, the rest of the rebellions will be deterred, and the imperial court will have a chance to turn over.

Zhang Xutuo shouted: "Order, the whole county pursues, in addition, send people to send a letter to Fan Hu quickly, transfer the ambush circle, ambush at the fork in front of Jinti Pass, and intercept Li Mi's deserters, they go around the mountain and woodland of Daihai Temple, they are definitely not as fast as Fan Hu." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Xutuo said again: "Also, send someone to inform General Qin Qiong to completely destroy the Wagang army camp, and then follow up to pursue." ”

"Whoa!" Jia Wuben fell off his horse and went to give the order.

Soon, the trumpets sounded in unison, mighty and majestic, and the phalanx army, which had not moved for a long time, also rumbled.

Zhang Xutuo personally commanded the Chinese army to press this time, and pursued after the palace, while Luo Shixin and Cheng Zhijie in front had already led the front army to chase and slaughter the fleeing Wagang sergeants.

The defeat was like a mountain, the Wagang army was not the main elite, many new troops were mixed in, and when they learned that the army had been defeated and the camp had been destroyed, they rushed to be the first, crying and running forward, which was not false at all, and the soldiers of the Sui army did not suspect fraud at all, because it was too realistic.

In fact, even the Wagang Army itself didn't know that there was fraud, let alone the Sui Army.

This is Li Mi's ruthlessness, completely treating these people as cannon fodder, turning them into bait, waiting for the prey to take the bait.

Luo Shixin rode his horse and rushed into the Wagang army with only dozens of horses, wanting to kill more generals of the enemy army, and his meritorious service was greater.

Cheng Zhijie was worried that he would lose, so he kept urging the cavalry to follow, and at the same time he had to command the infantry to follow, so he was very busy.

"This Shixin is too reckless." Cheng Zhijie sighed in his heart and complained.

The Sui army chased out more than 20 miles and killed more than 10,000 deserters again, making the number of Wagang troops killed in today's battle reach 30,000.

Luo Shixin convened, and simply took dozens of horsemen to stop attacking the deserters around him, wanting to catch up with Li Mi's team first, bite its Chinese army, and prevent Li Mi from escaping.

Finally, Li Mi led the army to arrive at the foot of the mountain where the sea temple is located, the ancient temple of the Buddhist temple, the Sanskrit sound is curling, the bell is loud, and the seclusion spreads.

This generation of Haisi was founded in the early period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the legend of Guanyin traveled north, moved to Xingyang, since then the Xingyang moat began to fall with the tide of the sea, so the name Daihai Temple, there is the meaning of replacing the South China Sea, so Daihai Temple has become the second hometown of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Zhang Xutuo personally led the troops to catch up." Sima Cui Shishu beside him said excitedly.

Li Mi breathed a sigh of relief, this battle was given to 30,000 soldiers of the Sui army for no reason, sacrificed, and finally led Zhang Xutuo and others into the encirclement.

"The Sui army only consumed 10,000 people, the main force is still there, there will be an ambush for a while, and there will be a vicious battle, but fortunately, the elite of the Sui army has fought a lot before and after, and then with the elite of our army, fight their main force, and occupy the advantage of ambushes, and set up sieges layer by layer, now they are difficult to fly." Li Mi led the people on, and then stopped a few miles ahead.

In fact, it was difficult for this army to stop, it was not enough to rely on military orders alone, and they were all fleeing, but there were heavy armor soldiers in front of them to form a defensive line, preventing the deserters from continuing to advance.

These soldiers were stunned and shouted one after another, why did they intercept their own people.

"Be quiet, listen to the general."

Since the soldiers of the phalanx had not been fighting, their physical strength was particularly high, and their sense of death was not as strong as those on the front line, and they soon quieted down.

Li Mice rode out and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, you have worked hard, although our army seems to be defeated, but this general has planted tens of thousands of ambush soldiers here, and has long been waiting for Zhang Xutuo, Luo Shixin and others to arrive, and you and other soldiers are resting in place, waiting for a while to counterattack the Sui army, our opportunity for revenge is coming soon." ”

When the news spread, the 20,000 soldiers were stunned, it turned out that their side had not yet been defeated?

Everyone will be skeptical, and there will be many discussions, suspecting that this is the commander's plan to stabilize the morale of the army.

At this moment, in the ambush circle at the foot of Daihai Temple Mountain, there was a sudden rumor that the war horse had fallen down, and Luo Shixin and others were suddenly trapped by tripping horses and fishing nets, and then arrows flew indiscriminately, killing many people.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhijie immediately sent reinforcements, and the chasing army rushed up, but two groups of men and horses rushed out from the dense forest, and the vanguard of the Sui army was surrounded and trapped at once.

When the fleeing soldiers saw Sergeant Wagang fighting back, they also subconsciously returned fire with their knives, and the two sides scuffled together.

When Zhang Xutuo came with his troops, he heard the sound of fighting in front of him, and thought that he had caught up with Li Mi and others, so he ordered the whole army to press and annihilate the Wagang army here.

Suddenly, in the jungle and on the mountainside, there was a sound of whistling through the sky, and arrows flying in the sky rained down on the main force of the Sui army that had just arrived.

The sky was obscured by arrow feathers, and when it landed, there were bursts of remnant screams and wails, which caused the Sui army to be injured immediately.

"Knock knock!" Like thunder in the clear sky, the drums of war roared from all directions, and the shouts of killing came from the mountains and jungles on three sides like a tide!

"There's a scam here!" Zhang Xutuo realized that the situation had changed, but the back road was blocked, and the ambush troops closed the net, which immediately suppressed the morale of the Sui army.

Li Mi and Xu Shiji re-entered the battlefield with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce them, and their morale was greatly boosted, which made this ambush circle fall into a melee, and the Sui army was heavily surrounded, unable to get through, and the situation was critical.

PS: Error correction: At the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was called Daihai Temple, and later it was changed to Dahai Temple. The original reason is that in the Sui and Tang dynasties, Li Yuan served as the Taishou of Xingyang County, Li Shimin suffered from eye disease, and asked for famous doctors to no avail, and then went to Daihai Temple to seek Buddha and recover. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he ordered Wei Chi Jingde to expand Daihai Temple, which is 20 miles long from east to west, 18 miles wide from north to south, the scale is like the sea, so it is called Dahai Temple, and then destroyed in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Obviously, this late Sui period should still be called Daihai Temple, here I was negligent, did not investigate in advance, affected by film and television dramas, I thought it would be called Dahai Temple at this time.
