25. Lure the enemy deeper
The most self-proud point of Zhang Xutuo's life is that he has led the army to fight for many years and has never had a record of failure, so he is deeply trusted by Yang Guang. is used to smooth sailing, his character is inevitably a little arrogant, and he pretends to be the pillar of the Sui Dynasty. This time, he came by order, of course, with full confidence, and led the army mighty, marching nearly eighty miles a day.
Advancing all the way, seeing that it was only a day's journey from Xingyang, Zhang Xutuo looked back behind him, and saw that most of the soldiers looked a little tired, so he ordered the whole army to rest for a while, and at the same time informed people that the city would send troops in time to respond, and attack the Wagang army in front and back. Unexpectedly, the army had just stopped, but there were three cannon shots in front of him, and before he could come back to his senses, Wang Bodang had already led the army to kill from the oblique stab.
The Wagang Army had suffered a big loss under his own hands, Zhang Xutuo squinted his eyes at the other party's banner, and suddenly felt a little contempt in his heart - where are there so many guys in the world who don't know whether they are alive or dead? Haven't you seen enough of my Grandpa Zhang's ability! So anxious to see Lord Yama! Thinking of this, he casually looked forward on his horse, and found that the troops in front of him were sparsely packed, the formation was not in order, and most of the soldiers were dressed as farmers, mixed colors, no matter what, they all gave people a sense of nondescriptry, much worse than the common Xiangma bandits before.
Grandma's, such a messy army, dare to call out to me Zhang, isn't this a deliberate humiliation of Lao Tzu's personality! He thought, suddenly raised the tiger's eyebrows, and shouted in a deep voice: Whoever is coming, report the name quickly! General Ben doesn't kill nobodies!
Wang Bodang laughed and said, Uncle Xing will not change his name, he will not change his surname, Wang Bodang under the account of Brother Zhai of Wagangzhai is! If you have some self-knowledge, you should get off the horse and die as soon as possible, lest your grandfather do it!
Zhang Xutuo was furious and scolded sharply: Ignorant thieves, who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, dare to speak loudly and look at the gun! scolded, urged the horse to step forward, raised the spear in his hand and stabbed Wang Bodang. Wang Bodang hurriedly danced his knife to hold it. So, the two guns exchanged knives and quickly fought fiercely.
Although Wang Bodang is strong in martial arts, compared with Zhang Xutuo, he is slightly inferior, and when he first came into contact, he could barely cope with it. Thirty rounds later, his knife skills gradually became a little scattered, and he couldn't resist it, so he hurriedly slashed at Zhang Xutuo's face, and when he raised his gun to parry, he took back the big knife that was chopped out, and fled back.
The martial arts of the vanguard general of Wagang are nothing more than this, Zhang Xutuo undoubtedly further deepened his contempt for this group, and couldn't help but look up and laugh wildly and said, this kind of straw bale is so vulnerable, and it is also worthy of rebellion, it really fucking makes people laugh off their big teeth! After laughing, he took the lead in chasing.
The main general was defeated, and the Wagang army all lost their armor and turned around and fled.
Zhang Xutuo defeated the Wagang army back then, but did not completely annihilate this rebel team, so that they revived, resulting in today's momentum, and has been deeply regretted afterwards. This time there was an opportunity, where was he willing to let it go easily, so he gave an order, and ordered his subordinates to speed up and catch up, and he was not allowed to pull down half a step.
This side is chasing closely, and the other side is also fleeing in a hurry. Wang Bodang fled all the way, seeing that he was in a hurry, and from time to time he turned his horse's head to resist for a while, but then he fled faster.
The two sides fled and rushed, and chased out more than 20 miles in a blink of an eye, and there was already the Great Sea Temple in front.
Zhang Xutuo's subordinate Jia Wuben was a native and was very familiar with the terrain in this area, coupled with his cautious nature. At first, when he saw Wang Bodang's chaotic team, he always felt that there was something wrong with it - in recent times, the reputation of the Wagang Army has become more and more famous, and it may not be the reputation earned by such a group of messy characters? That's incredible, isn't it?
With doubts in his heart, he chased after Dahai Temple, and Jia Wuben became more and more convinced that the defeat of the other party was a plan to lure the enemy nine times out of ten! Thinking about it, he hurriedly drove forward, and persuaded angrily: There is already the Great Sea Temple in front, and the terrain in that area is complicated, so adults should be cautious, so as not to be ambushed by mistake!
Zhang Xutuo was full of hope for the success of the first battle, how could he easily stop, hearing the word "ambush", he couldn't help but laugh again, such a group of rabble, even if there is an ambush of a million troops, what is General An Neng Naben? After laughing, although Jia Wuben urged the Houjun to follow up quickly, without a slight delay, he urged the horse and chased after him.
Jia Wuben wanted to talk about the doubts in his heart in detail, but found that Zhang Xutuo had chased him far away, and it was too late to dissuade him, so he couldn't help but sigh gloomily, urging the army to follow up.
Look at the chase out of six or seven miles, Zhang Xutuo's army all broke into the hinterland of the Great Sea Temple. What he always remembered in his heart was how to kill the gang in front of him as soon as possible, just blindly chasing after him.
At this time, Wang Bodang's expected goal had been achieved, and there was no need to deal with it, so he hurriedly inserted two fingers into his mouth, and with a whistle, Wagangjun heard the code, and suddenly shook at the bend of the mountain road, and disappeared at the same time.
The Wagang army suddenly disappeared, Zhang Xutuo began to be suspicious, stopped his horse and looked around, but saw that the mountains were surrounded by fog everywhere in front of him, the peaks were standing, the broken stream was meandering, interspersed between the valleys, the water was murmuring, and the noise was constant; The mountains and mountains are overgrown with trees, crossing vertically and horizontally, and the wind stops the trees and the trees are quiet, which makes people suffocate more and more. On the hill in the distance, the crow's miserable "wow" strange cry is constant, and it is terrifying to hear.
Zhang Xutuo has been in the army for half his life, and he knows all kinds of taboos in marching and fighting, and in the face of this situation, he has faintly felt that something is wrong, and hurriedly ordered the army to stop marching, and then decide to advance and retreat after figuring out the enemy's situation.
It's a pity that he woke up too late, and in the blink of an eye, he suddenly heard the sound of drums on all sides, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the Wagang army ambushed nearby had been killed from all directions.
Although he has been born and died for many years and has fought many big battles, Zhang Xutuo is still facing such a passive situation for the first time. However, in the end, it was a veteran of the battlefield, although he was in danger and secretly complained of misery, his appearance was always calm as usual, and he still gave orders in an orderly manner: no one was allowed to run around, according to the organization of various departments, lined up on the spot, calmly responded to the battle, and all those who did not obey the orders and messed up their positions were all engaged in military law.
Zhang Xutuo is strict in governing the army on weekdays, and orders must be carried out. The army received the order, immediately stopped the commotion, and quickly put the queue in order.
The Wagang army was defeated that year, and many brothers died under the butcher's knife of Zhang Xutuo and his men, and now he is surrounded, and everyone wants to avenge the revenge of the year's arrow, and the morale is needless to say that it is unprecedentedly high.
Although Zhang Xutuo's soldiers are well-trained on weekdays, they have strict military discipline. However, there is always a limit to everything, and people's psychological endurance is no exception, and it is inevitable that there will be a time of complete collapse - seeing that all directions are densely packed, all Wagang people and horses, after several conflicts, the army tried their best, how could they not resist the fierce offensive of the other party wave after wave, and they couldn't help but panic one by one, and the formation that had just been rectified was invisibly chaotic, no matter how Zhang Xutuo and Jia Wuben yelled and scolded, everyone only scattered and fled for their lives, and no one obeyed the order.
The soldiers who came out by themselves would not be able to withstand the wind and waves so much, Zhang Xutuo did not expect it, he couldn't help but be furious, he pulled out the sword on his waist casually, and beheaded several soldiers who fled indiscriminately one after another, and the chaotic situation still could not be improved. In desperation, he had to clamp the horse's belly, set an example, and took the lead in breaking into the enemy formation, holding a gun in his left hand and dancing a sword in his right hand, shouting and roaring, and the sword rose and fell, showing his might. I passed all the way, but I saw the heads of people in front of the horse rolling, and blood splashing. Before he knew it, he had fought more than a mile. Although the Wagang army killed heroically, they could only let him go all the way out, unable to get close to him.
Li Mi immediately climbed the mountain, and witnessed Zhang Xutuo's spear and sword at the same time, every shot and sword were so fierce and ruthless, it can be seen that there is no exaggeration or untruth about the rumors about his past, and he knows that if this person is not removed, sooner or later it will be a big trouble! In addition to secretly praising it, he opened his eyes wider and wider, staring at the other party's every move, and tried his best to wave the command flag in his hand, where Zhang Xutuo killed, where the order flag pointed, so that he had no respite, and the intention was to trap him alive in the battle!
With the rotation of the Ling Banner, the Wagang Army constantly adjusted the direction of attack, and was picked over by Zhang Xutuo, and then surged up for more, the momentum of sacrificing life and forgetting death, like the waves of the river and the sea, interspersed and divided, squeezed and advanced, and quickly cut the Sui army into countless small pieces.
