Chapter Twenty-Seven: Going Against the Odds (II)

In his opinion, with the narrow terrain, even if the Xingyang army has 20,000 soldiers and horses, it is impossible to disperse the Wagang army with a defensive formation in a short time, not to mention that behind the 10,000 people, there are still 40,000 troops waiting for it.

The 3,000 cavalry of the Xingyang Army rushed directly to the enemy formation like arrows, not caring how many people there were on the other side. Pei Yuanqing, Luo Shixin, and Qin Qiong rushed to the front, two spears and a horse lance, as if they were indestructible.

The Wagang army that attacked Heishi Pass, most of them were thieves from all walks of life who were attached later, Li Mi trusted Wang Bodang, so he handed over the flanks to him to guard, there was nothing wrong with such an arrangement, but Li Mi ignored one thing, when the Xingyang army became famous in a battle, it was the soldiers under Wang Bodang who were defeated.

The drums don't stop, the horses' hooves don't stop!

Before the battle, the momentum of the Wagang thieves has weakened by three points, and when the three thousand cavalry fearlessly rushed to their side, did the Wagang thieves still have the courage to resist? What's more, behind the cavalry, there are still an unknown number of infantry!

Pei Yuanqing held a spear and shield in his hand and took the lead in rushing to the front of the enemy formation, only to see that his eyes were sharp, and with a spear, the shield soldier in front of him flew into the air, and then fell into the phalanx of his own army.

After Luo Shixin did not fall behind, he raised his gun and smashed it down, the shield in front of him collapsed, and the soldiers in the rear only saw a shadow, and most of his head was smashed off, and his brain burst out.

Qin Qiong was even more bold, jumped up directly from his horse, jumped into the enemy formation, stepped on the shield behind him with his legs, turned around and swept the horse lance, and several heads rolled to the ground with an unbelievable gaze. At this time, Qin Qiong's war horse happened to be at his side, he turned over and jumped, stepping on the stirrup and returning to the horse. The whole action is fluid.

The three of them were all military generals, and those Wagang thieves who were cowering and defending did not dare to fight in close quarters at all, and the speed of the three thousand cavalry was not slow, and they rushed in with great pride along the gap they opened.

Seeing that the soldiers on the flanks couldn't hold out for even half an hour. Li Mi's face turned cold, and he sent Cheng Yanjin, Pei Xingyan, and others to lead 4,000 internal troops to meet the battle.

The cavalry of the Xingyang Army is the elite of the 20,000 elite soldiers, and Li Mi's internal army is a strong man selected from more than 200,000 people. The prestige of Li Mi's internal army has already spread, as a proud soldier of the Xingyang army, how can he be convinced? And the strong combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Xingyang Army. It also gave those internal armies the idea of competing.

People are on the battlefield, they can't help themselves, and at this time all the people are red-eyed, and their minds only have constant killing, and they have no leisure to think about death.

The drum stopped, the golden gong struck four times, and although Pei Yuanqing and the others were unwilling, they did not hesitate to turn the horse's head. Three thousand cavalry, with a thick smell of blood, returned along the same road.

The infantry led by Li Jing had already arrived. Those Wagang thieves fought and retreated, and the chaos was so chaotic that they blocked the pace of the 4,000 internal army, and the road was already narrow, and the internal army could only fly over if they wanted to meet the enemy. Or wait for the former army to be killed, and the situation will be extremely embarrassing!

The soldiers of the Xingyang army do not need to aim, and they can take the lives of hundreds of people by pulling their bows and shooting arrows at will, and the front army is holding shields. Blocking the spears and broadswords of the Wagang thieves, he squeezed them backwards, revealing a gap from which a spear stretched out and pierced the enemy's body.

The march with such a phalanx was undoubtedly slow, but as Li Jing promised, victory would be won at the lowest cost. Besides, it is not the Xingyang army that is in a hurry now, what they have to do is to put pressure on the Wagang thieves, so as to break their psychological defense.

Just when everyone thought it was going to be a tug-of-war, the Wagang thieves withdrew!

Heishi Pass was occupied by Wang Shichong, and the Wagang thieves could not march towards Luokou, and tens of thousands of people abandoned their armor and headed in the direction of Yuecheng.

No one expected that the Wagang thieves would retreat so suddenly, and they were running towards a dead end, Wang Shichong left thousands of soldiers to guard the Heishi Pass, and personally led the army to attack, and the Xingyang army did not miss the opportunity, no longer taking the strategy of step-by-step, and the soldiers swarmed up to harvest the enemy's head.

Although the main force of the Wagang thieves retreated, there were still more than 10,000 people left on the battlefield, and the way ahead of these people was blocked by Wang Shichong, and there was the Xingyang army in the rear, and they were unable to escape at all.

More than half of Li Mi's 3,000 troops had been killed or wounded, and when they learned that Li Mi had ordered the withdrawal of troops, they knew that they had become outcasts. But this is the case on the battlefield, when the situation is unfavorable, as the commander-in-chief, they are decisive, they still fight in the encirclement of the imperial army with the idea of killing one and earning one.

"Li Thief has abandoned you, don't surrender at this time, let alone when!" Wang Shichong had been paying attention to those inner troops, and seeing that they were no less brave than the Jianghuai army, he had the heart to recruit, so he asked his entourage to shout to the leader of the inner army: "Do you want to watch your subordinates die on the spot?" ”

The general with silver armor all over his body laughed loudly and replied: "The emperor is not virtuous, the court is rotten, why do you help the abuse, it is better to defect to the Duke of Wei early, and you can still seek a future!" ”

Wang Shichong's face was not gloomy, and under the protection of the guards, he took a few steps forward and said: "You are now in a dead situation, and this general is reluctant to give up your talent, so he is kind to persuade him, why should you kill yourself!" ”

The man looked at each other coldly, indifferent.

"Although you are attached to the traitor, you also have a bit of righteousness." Wang Shichong sighed: "In this case, report your name, and after you die, General Ben will build a tomb and a monument for you." ”

"The guards under the account of Duke Wei - Chai Xiaohe!" Chai Xiaohe shouted, and suddenly threw out the spear in his hand, only pointing at Wang Shichong, Fei Qingnu took a step forward, and the horse lance picked it up, and pulled away the spear. At the same time, dozens of arrows were fired at Chai Xiaohe, and his relatives desperately resisted, but he still had several arrows in his body.

"The Wagang thief is stubborn, don't kill him!" Wang Shichong was taken aback, and ordered in a cold voice.

The imperial army poured into Chai Xiaohe and others like a tide, and Chai Xiaohe retreated to Luoshui with his soldiers, and at this time, the Xingyang army had eliminated the Wagang thieves on the south bank.

Chai Xiaohe took off his helmet, threw it on the ground, then picked up a long knife, and shouted loudly: "If anyone escapes with his life, let Wei Gong know that I, Chai Xiaohe, have not failed him!" The soldiers around him were all sad and grief-stricken.

"Kill!" With the last round of the imperial army's charge, Chai Xiaohe's body was pierced by several spears, he let out a loud shout, used his last strength, took a step forward, slashed and killed three imperial soldiers, and then staggered a few steps and fell into Luoshui.

Xingyang Jun looked at everything in front of him silently on the other side, and couldn't help but feel admiration.

The remaining more than 3,000 Wagang thieves saw Chai Xiaohe dead and fell into the water, and they no longer had the courage to persevere, so they chose to flee in all directions, and Wang Long and others led the army to basically kill them.

After this battle, the Wagang thieves lost more than 30,000 people, and the imperial court only suffered more than 5,000 casualties by virtue of the advantages of terrain and weapons. (To be continued.) )
