As soon as Zhang Xutuo led his army out of Xingyang, Li Xuanba ordered a thousand cavalry under his command to gather.

Nominally, Li Xuanba was the general of this thousand cavalry, and even Qin Qiong had no right to interfere with his transfer of troops.

What's more, Li Xuanba had already discussed it with Qin Qiong before.

"Brother Shubao, thank you for trusting Xuanba so much." Li Xuanba raised his head and said: "If it's really just Xuanba who is too worried, and the general blames him, you will say that it was my order." ”

Qin Qiong rode on a brown war horse and replied with a smile: "General Zhang often says that you are a lucky general, since you said that the Wagang thieves may set up an ambush, it is also a matter of course for Shubao to lead troops to support, how can the general be blamed?" ”

A thousand iron horsemen were ready to go, and the war horses were panting, echoing the cavalry full of fighting spirit, and from a distance, the momentum was like a rainbow.

"With the garrison under the command of Lord Taishou to defend Xingyang, the general can be completely assured." Li Xuanba arched his hand and said: "At least it will not be a problem to support it for a few days." ”

Taishou Yang Qing was modest and didn't talk much.

"Hmm." Qin Qiong responded and said, "I will remember what you say." After speaking, he said goodbye to Li Xuanba and went out of the city solemnly with the cavalry.

"Lord Zhongyongwei, why did you let Shubao lead the army to follow the army far behind?" Seeing Qin Qiong leave, Yang Qing asked with some puzzlement.

Although Li Xuanba made arrangements, he still had no bottom in his heart. In order to divert his attention, he chatted with Yang Qing and replied, "General Zhang once set up an ambush and defeated the Wagang thieves, so he will not be wary of the Wagang thieves using the same strategy." ”

"Are you worried about the Wagang thieves attacking back and forth?" Yang Qing understood it at one point, understood, and asked curiously: "What did you say to Shubao?" ”

"I talked to him a lot." Li Xuanba laughed brightly, and then said mysteriously: "But Xuanba can't tell Lord Taishou." ”

The Wagang army did not deliberately hide its whereabouts, and the 30,000-strong army walked on the official road, stretching for several miles, which was very spectacular.

Zhai Rang sat in charge of the Chinese army with a calm face, making people not feel the slightest nervousness. But in fact, although Li Mi arranged it thoroughly, Zhai Rang was still inexplicably worried.

"General, Zhang Xutuo leads 10,000 elite soldiers, and there are still seven miles away from our army." A spy came from the front to report what had been discovered.

"Keep going." Zhai Rang gave a faint order.

It was getting late, and according to the current marching speed, it should have been late at night when the Wagang army arrived at Xingyang City. Li Mi arranged this way, naturally to confuse Zhang Xutuo and make him think that the Wagang army planned to attack the city overnight.

Zhang Xutuo did fall for the trick, he learned that he was not far from the elite of Wagang, and after a little contemplation, he ordered the army to speed up the march, for fear that the Wagang thieves would escape.

The steady and unanimous pace of the soldiers alarmed the animals in the forest, and from time to time birds flew into the air.

Both armies are on the official road, and sooner or later there will be a time when they meet.

"Kill!" Needless to say, the soldiers raised their swords almost simultaneously and killed each other, everything was too abrupt and seemed to be taken for granted.

Zhang Xutuo's army had high morale and better weapons and equipment than the Wagang thieves, so the soldiers did not feel timid in the face of an enemy army three times their size, and rushed forward with indomitable progress.

Luo Shixin and Niu Jinda are the first to take the lead, and the horse lance in their hands is waving, splashing blood flowers, which is spectacular.

Most of the former army of the Wagang thieves had just defected, and they didn't know the strength of Zhang Xutuo's army, and they felt that there were a large number of them, and they were not afraid of death to rush to the official army. They fell into the grass and became thieves, and they had a lot of resentment against the court in their hearts, and the appearance of venting their brains at this time was also moving.

Luo Shixin and others rushed to kill in a circle, and then led the troops to retreat temporarily, and the Wagang thieves thought that the officers and soldiers were timid, and the front army flocked to the officers and soldiers like a tide. But what awaited them was not credit, but a dozen swarthy chariots.

The chariot was surrounded by sharp blades, and the oxen pulling the chariot were covered with hard armor.

The soldiers in the rear of the Wagang army could not see the situation in front of them, and still squeezed forward, and the soldiers in the front wanted to retreat, and they were in chaos in an instant, allowing the chariot to continue to harvest lives.

Zhang Xutuo was riding on a war horse, and he could see everything that was happening in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart: what was happening now was no different from what he had speculated.

The corpses of the Wagang army blocked the chariots, and the more than 3,000 people in the front army lost nearly half of them in an instant, and the rest of the people had already lost their courage in front of the cold corpses and retreated one after another.

What awaits them in the rear is not support, not help, but arrows that brave the cold light.

"The front army is pressing, and you are not allowed to retreat!" The herald waved the order flag to convey the commander's order.

Some people thought that the arrows were just a deterrent, but they still retreated, and then a few cold rays of light penetrated into the bodies of these people, and these people fell down in horror.

In order to survive, the front army of the Wagang thieves could only look back and face the official army.

If you die in battle, your family members can still get some benefits, but if you are killed by your own people, I am afraid that your family members will not only not get benefits, but will also be infamy.

After all, it's death, so why drag down your family?

The combat power of the Wagang thieves was not comparable to Zhang Xutuo's army, and at this time, the morale of the army was weak, and they didn't know what else to do except for numb and indiscriminate chopping.

Zhai Rang looked ahead with some distress, but thought that he could eliminate Zhang Xutuo tonight, so he calmed down in an instant, and said to the deputy general beside him: "The front army has suffered serious losses, so I ordered to retreat!" ”

The deputy thought that he had heard it wrong, hesitated for a moment, Zhai Rang's eyes widened, and the deputy general hurriedly sent someone to give an order, and the rear army became the front army and retreated. And the hundreds of people left in the former army were directly abandoned.

The army had already retreated, and the hundreds of people were instantly discouraged, kneeling and surrendering, just to save their lives.

Seeing that Zhai Rang led the army to retreat inexplicably, Zhang Xutuo cared about these people, leaving dozens of people to watch them, leading the rest of the soldiers to chase Zhai Rang.

"General, poor Kou Mo chase!" Jia Wuben caught up with Zhang Xutuo, walked side by side with him, and persuaded: "The main force of the thief army is not damaged, we should not take risks." ”

"Do you think that the Wagang thieves are willing to use 3,000 lives as bait?" Zhang Xutuo replied with a smile: "The traitor finally came out of the nest, if he misses this opportunity, this general is really ashamed of the court and His Majesty." ”

As he spoke, many flags and even some weapons were thrown on the road at random, thinking that he was trying to escape for his life, and he couldn't care so much. These pictures made Jia Wuben doubt his worries.

"If the thief army is not afraid of the general, why did they flee in a panic?" Luo Shixin was covered in blood and had a fierce appearance, like a demon crawling out of purgatory. He showed a mouthful of yellow teeth and said gloomily: "Even if they cheat, kill them all!" ”

Since Luo Shixin got Li Xuanba's gift, he can be said to be full of confidence, and he has long wanted to fight with Xu Shiji, but this time he hasn't even seen Xu Shiji's face, how can he be willing?

Niu Jinda nodded silently on the side, he also felt that he should continue to pursue. After all, when he rushed to kill before, he saw Zhai Rang in the thief army, and if he could take Zhai Rang's head, then the Wagang thief would be half wiped out.

"Xuanba shouldn't have given you this Xuanming Spear." Zhang Xutuo smiled and said to Luo Shixin: "As a general, remember your responsibilities and don't fight fiercely." ”

Luo Shixin didn't feel embarrassed, laughed heartily, and said: "Lord Zhongyongwei has a good saying, if you have revenge, you don't repay a gentleman, this time I must beat Xu Thief!" ”

When Zhang Xutuo heard Luo Shixin's words, he had a strange feeling in his heart.

Qin Qiong and Li Xuanba are very close, Zhang Xutuo already knows that now the relationship between Luo Shixin and Li Xuanba seems to have become extremely good.

The spear sent by Li Xuanba, Luo Shixin named it "Xuanming", and the word "Xuan" in it represents that the Xuanming spear was given by Li Xuanba.

Although Zhang Xutuo was strange, he did not suspect Li Xuanba, because he could see that Li Xuanba did not deliberately make friends with Luo Shixin and others.

However, the friendship that comes naturally is the most sincere and precious.
