Li Mi's plan was perfect, he took advantage of Zhang Xutuo's eagerness to exterminate the Wagang army, and laid down the array of inviting the king into the urn. He deliberately let go of Luo Shixin and others to weaken the strength of the imperial army, just to capture Zhang Xutuo alive.

Everyone knows that Zhang Xutuo is the pillar of the imperial court and the soul of the soldiers under his command, as long as Zhang Xutuo surrenders, then Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong and other generals will naturally follow and defect to Wagangzhai.

But Li Mi counted one less person, and he couldn't count that anyone would know what he thought.

The cavalry was born to restrain the infantry, Luo Shixin and the others were trapped in the crowd before, the war horses couldn't raise their speed, and there were ways to deal with it, but Qin Shubao and they were now charging at full speed, and the Wagang thieves had no way at all.

When Li Mi saw the cavalry in the distance, he knew that it was impossible to leave Zhang Xutuo behind, so he persuaded Zhai Rang to give an order to eliminate the imperial officers and soldiers who were besieged in the army, so that Shan Xiongxin and others could retreat; And Zhang Xutuo had already rushed into the formation, and he led his soldiers to kill the enemy bravely, so that Shan Xiongxin and others would not have a chance to escape.

Helplessly, the soldiers under Zhang Xutuo's command had already exhausted their strength, and there was no way to stop Shan Xiongxin and them, and after each handed over hundreds of lives, Shan Xiongxin still led the army to rush over.

"There is rubble everywhere here, and the cavalry will not charge too quickly." Li Mi was not flustered, and said calmly: "If they dare to rush in, they will be allowed to go and never return." ”

The road was not wide, and it was difficult for the Wagang thieves to form an encirclement, so they withdrew in an orderly manner.

Qin Qiong led the cavalry and passed by Zhang Xutuo, but he didn't mean to stop, beside him, it was none other than Luo Shixin, who went and returned, and the war horse under his crotch was actually the red flame brought by Li Xuanba to Qin Qiong.

More than a thousand cavalry rushed towards the Wagang thieves with murderous momentum.

Li Mi glanced back, his brows furrowed involuntarily, don't the soldiers of the secret court have common sense? However, when he found that the speed of those cavalry had not slowed down, and the horses did not feel uncomfortable, he felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

The choice of the place of the battle here was not arbitrary on the part of Li Mi.

Although Zhang Xutuo's cavalry is not as good as the Turks, but the combat power is still very terrible, just in case, Li Mi specially chose this road with more gravel, and the war horse walking on such a road will inevitably slow down.

Therefore, Li Mi was very puzzled, why Qin Qiong and the others were not affected at all.

Zhai Rang led the army to retreat first, and Li Mi led thousands of people to protect in the rear.

"Archers prepare." Li Mi calmly ordered.

In order to capture Zhang Xutuo alive before, the archers have not been used, and the arrows are quite sufficient, so Li Mi is not nervous at all, and Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji are protecting him, and the martial arts of these two, Li Mi is very clear.

The speed at which the Wagang thieves fled was not as fast as the cavalry led by Qin Qiong, and now Li Mi asked the archers to stop shooting, which undoubtedly killed them. But the military order could not be violated, and hundreds of archers trembled and raised their bows and pulled the strings.

Not everyone's archery skills are as powerful as Li Mi's, only to see weak arrows shot out, and some of them have fallen weakly before they reach Qin Qiong.

However, as the distance approached, the bow and arrow of the Wagang thief had an effect, and Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others could still sweep away the arrows, but others could not do this, and from time to time some people fell off their horses. If you're lucky, you're only slightly injured, and if you're unlucky, you're losing half of your life.

Li Mi didn't think that the archers would be able to block the cavalry of the imperial court, his purpose was only to slow down the speed of the cavalry, only in this way could they have the strength to fight.

Qin Qiong finally rushed into Li Mi's army at the cost of losing dozens of horses, and Luo Shixin followed closely behind, holding the Xuan Ming in his hand, riding the red flame, like a demon god descending, which made people shudder.

"Fight and retreat, protect the Chinese army." No matter how smart Li Mi was, he couldn't think of a way at this time, so he could only order the soldiers to fight Qin Qiong and them to protect Zhai Rang and the others from retreating as much as possible.

Tonight's losses are all the responsibility of his Li Mi, if he can't even complete the task of blocking the pursuing soldiers, then he won't have the face to go back to Wagangzhai.

Blocking is not defeating, and Li Mi did not dare to think of defeating more than 1,000 cavalry with 3,000 infantry.

Li Mi's outfit is obvious, which makes people discover his existence at a glance, and Xu Shiji and Shan Xiong stay by his side, which makes people confirm that his identity is very special.

Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong directly killed Li Mi, Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin stepped forward to resist, Li Mi calmly commanded the Wagang thieves to set up the formation, and no one could help anyone in a short time.

About half an hour later, the losses of the Wagang thieves were getting bigger and bigger, Xu Shiji had realized the horror of Luo Shixin before, and dealt with it carefully, but he still fell behind after all.

Li Mi saw that Xu Shiji was in danger, and estimated that the delay time was enough, so he immediately made a decision and ordered to retreat into the forest. As long as they entered the woods, it was impossible for the cavalry to chase them in.

The Wagang thief's ability to escape for his life really can't be underestimated, after a while, he has basically escaped, Shan Xiongxin blocked Qin Qiong's attack, pulled out the horse and left, Qin Qiong sneered, and did not chase it, but killed Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji is the strongest person in Wagang, and he is the general that Zhai Rang attaches the most importance to, Li Mi naturally did not dare to let him die in battle, so he had to ride a horse to help, Shan Xiongxin finally got out of the battlefield, and saw that Li Mi and Xu Shiji did not leave, so he could only turn back to rescue.

Li Mi's archery skills are good, but his martial arts are really average, he only fought for more than a dozen rounds, and he couldn't support it, and when he was about to be killed by Luo Shixin, a black-faced fat man rushed over and shouted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, bite the gold!" ”

Chen Biting Jin fought against several cavalry with one horse, not only did not lose, but killed all those cavalry, at this time he got out of his body, and saw that Li Mi was in danger, and hurried to the rescue.

In his early years, Chen Yanjin gathered hundreds of people to rebel, and later, by chance, he attached himself to Li Mi, but because he was obese and a little stupid, he was never reused. But he admired Li Mi's ambition and remained loyal to Li Mi.

As soon as Chen Biting Jin joined the battle group, the pressure on Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong increased sharply, but fortunately, most of the Wagang thieves had fled, and the other cavalry came forward to help, so that they did not fall into disadvantage.

Seeing that the cavalry under his command was killed one by one, Qin Luoxu was distressed, and hurriedly ordered: "Get out of the way and let them go!" The cavalry made way of a road, and Li Mi and the others cautiously rushed out, and then slapped their horses and ran.

"You said earlier that Xuanba asked us to leave Xu Shiji, so how can we explain to him if we go back empty-handed?" Luo Shixin looked at the few people who fled and said unwillingly.

"I led the cavalry out of the city, and the most important thing was to save General Zhang." Qin Qiong said calmly: "The strength of several of them is not weak, if they continue to fight, the soldiers will suffer even heavier losses, and if Xuanba is here, he will inevitably choose to let them escape." ”

Luo Shixin thought about it and felt that this was indeed the case, so he stopped arguing. After clearing the battlefield, the two of them led the soldiers to join Zhang Xutuo.

Zhang Xutuo's gaze was a little glazed, and he sat on a stone on the side of the road. In this battle, it is impossible to say who wins and who loses, and both sides have casualties.

In fact, the Wagang thieves lost more troops, but Zhang Xutuo felt that he had lost this battle. Jia Wu himself was seriously injured, and before he could return to Xingyang, he died with a whimper, which made Zhang Xutuo blame himself even more.

"General." Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin dismounted, bowed their hands, and called softly.

Zhang Xutuo looked up at the two of them, nodded silently, looked at the tragic battlefield again, and said, "Go back." ”

The army returned to Xingyang in silence all the way, and Li Xuanba saw it from a distance and immediately ordered someone to open the city gate to welcome the army.
