Chapter 651: The Tiger Falls to Pingyang
"Surround Jia Wuben, don't let him run." Li Mi confessed.
He inquired clearly that Jia Wuben was not only Zhang Xutuo's right-hand man, but also his old brother, and the two had fought side by side for many years, intersecting in life and death. Moreover, Zhang Xutuo, although he fought ruthlessly, he usually loved soldiers like children, and he treated his old brothers with deep affection.
Therefore, even if Li Mi is dead, as long as Jia Wuben is surrounded, Zhang Xutuo will definitely come to the rescue.
"Such a big show, wouldn't it be a pity to have no alcoholic food, go get a table of alcoholic food, I want to watch the show here today!" Li Mi said with a smile.
When everyone saw him so calm, they all became much more stable in their hearts.
Even in the distance, Zhang Xutuo's red flag still kept moving forward, and no one could stop it.
But after all, the momentum has been greatly reduced, and the more you rush, the slower it is.
Soon, a table of wine and food was ready.
"There are only some vegetarian dishes in the Dahai Temple, so I asked the great monks to set up a table of vegetarian dishes, and asked Duke Wei to take care of them." A lieutenant said.
Li Mi looked at the dishes on the table, and sure enough, they were all vegetarian, but the steaming was also very comfortable, after all, it was already cold winter at this time, and the higher the station, the colder the wind blew.
Li Mi picked up his wine glass.
"Everyone, congratulations to you in advance! As soon as Zhang Xutuo died, Henan was in our pocket. ”
Outside the tower, the sound of fighting on the battlefield kept wafting in.
But Li Mi was drinking leisurely.
He had already won the battle.
·······
"Report, Duke Wei, Zhang Xutuo has broken through the siege and merged with Jia Wu's army."
Hearing this, Li Mi's hand trembled, and the wine in the cup shook out. But he quickly steadied himself and laughed a few times.
"Oh, that's a little accident, I didn't think that Zhang Xutuo still had the remaining Yong to rush into the encirclement and join Jia Wuben, but it didn't matter, he couldn't escape anyway."
Put down your glass.
Li Mi ordered, "Let Wang Bodang lead my Wei Wushu into battle." ”
Wei Wushu, this is Li Mi's 8,000 elites carefully selected from hundreds of thousands of rabble. The number was eight battalions, of which 2,000 were light cavalry and 6,000 were infantry.
Although there are few Wei soldiers, they are all extremely strong veterans, all of them have seen blood, especially Li Mi handed over the best equipment to them, so this army of 8,000 soldiers and horses is not much, but it is well-equipped, and it is not worse than the government soldiers.
Cavalry with two horses, with spears and horned bows. The infantry also has armor, even the Mo swordsman.
Not to mention that his 6,000 foot soldiers, like the government soldiers, everyone is equipped with a bow.
It even has hundreds of pedal crossbows, three-bow crossbows, bed crossbows, etc.
"Pass me the order!"
Li Mi slapped his palm on the table, and the shaking cup and plate jumped. "Order the two cavalry battalions of Longxiang and Huben, each go out all the way, outflank from both wings, and intercept Zhang Xutuo's infantry with cavalry."
"Another order, the sixth battalion of infantry intercepted Zhang Xutuo's cavalry, and blocked it with Mo knives, spears, and bows and crossbows!"
"Order all armies to surround and kill Zhang Xutuo at all costs, and never let him go!"
At this time.
In front of Daikai Temple.
Zhang Xutuo finally led his troops to break through the encirclement and killed in front of Jia Wuben's forward.
Jia Wuben only had more than 2,000 people left, and he was covered in blood and had several arrows in his body.
"Dashuai, why are you here, this is Li Mi's trick, you quickly take the brothers to withdraw!" Jia Wuben saw that the old brother broke into the siege to save him, and he was both moved and worried.
"I'll take you with me!"
Zhang Xutuo also stained his robes with blood, and he looked around and found that the rebels were once again surrounding.
"Lao Jia, can you still ride a horse to kill?"
Jia Wuben pointed to a few arrows on his body, "It should be that I didn't hit the point, you help me cut off the arrow shaft first, and it will be cumbersome to save a while when I rush to kill." ”
"Hahaha, I know you can still rush, go, break through!"
At this time, even the generals who were conceited and underestimated the enemy before knew that they had fallen for Li Mi's tricks today.
Everyone was already too tired, and the rebels were surprisingly stalking today, breaking through them again and again, and they didn't even break up.
The wound was treated simply.
Jia Wuben lifted the lance again.
"Dashuai, let Lao Jia charge for you again!"
"Sons, the handsome man came to pick us up, and now, change us to open the way for the handsome!"
"Kill!"
Jia Wuben had already seen one rebel after another infantry lined up outside, and they were preparing to close in. At a glance, he knew that these rebels seemed to be more elite, exuding a chilling murderous aura.
With a loud roar, he rode his horse and rushed over.
More and more rebels are coming towards them, and he can't see how many banners and how many troops.
However, those in front of them with the banner of Wei are definitely the enemy.
And just when they began to charge and break through, Wang Bodang and Wang Dangren, two thieves, had already come over with a thousand light horsemen desperately.
The timing they chose was when Zhang Xutuo and they had already begun to break through, at this time the cavalry opened the way in front and the infantry followed behind.
However, the elite light cavalry led by Wang Bodang and the two did not intercept the official cavalry, but rushed through the two wings, constantly shooting and wounding the officers and soldiers from the side.
And the last way to kill behind the infantry in the rear, with light cavalry from behind the infantry to cover the kill.
The second general of the rebel army desperately took Long Xiang and the cavalry of the second battalion of Huben to intersperse.
The 6,000-man Wei Wushu infantry battalion was also divided into two rows on the left and right, setting up a triple interception.
More rebels began to rush as well.
Officers and troops kept falling.
In particular, the rebel Wei Wushu had iron armor to avoid arrows, an eight-foot-tall giant shield, a Mo knife with a zhang eight, a long-handled axe, and a large number of bows and crossbows, especially rows of cabinet horses, with bed crossbows.
It was also a row of cavalry that shot down the officers.
·······
on the tower.
The battle report was being continuously collected by the scout light cavalry, and then reported to the tower.
"General Wang Bodang has already led the elite cavalry of the second battalion of Long Xiang and Huben to cut off the official infantry cavalry!"
"Wei Wushu has stopped Zhang Xutuo's light horse!"
"The officers and soldiers have been cut!"
"The officers and troops are scattering!"
Li Mi laughed, he raised his glass and drank it down, then smashed the glass to the ground.
"I've drunk enough, now it's time to go down and ride and kill!"
·······
Jia Wuben slashed to death a Wei Wushu spearman, but saw the smoke and dust billowing in front of him.
"It's cavalry."
Zhang Xutuo looked up and saw the banner in front of the cavalry, with a big Wei character on it.
"Didn't Li Mi personally go into battle?"
It was indeed Li Mi who personally went into battle, and he took his last elite, the Wei Gong Hussar to the inner camp.
This is Li Mi's personal guard, there are not many of them, only a thousand horsemen, but they are not weaker than the second battalion of Long Xiang and Hu Ben.
Jia Wuben looked back and looked around, the official army had been completely dispersed, and countless rebels were on a rampage.
"Dashuai, after I come to the palace, you hurry up!"
Zhang Xutuo shook his head, "Let's go together!" ”
