441 Secret Weapon
The shield array composed of 10,000 elites of Zhang Xutuo is like a giant beast in the wilderness with its mouth wide open.
The monster continued to devour the lives of the Wagang soldiers, and after the living men and horses rushed in, they never came out alive.
In just a few rounds, the three teams sent out by Zhai Rang were not slaughtered to pieces, and less than half of the 25,000 men were soon left.
Zhai Rang looked at the slaughter from afar, and forgot to give orders for a while, he was now remorseful, and felt that he still believed too much in Li Mi's so-called secret weapon.
In the first contact, Zhang Xutuo's 10,000 elite soldiers defeated the 25,000 Wagang army.
When the shouting and killing gradually stopped, Zhang Xutuo stared coldly at the banner of Zhai Rang's Chinese army that he could vaguely see in the distance, the opponent's position had begun to waver, Zhang Xutuo resolutely ordered, "Beat the heavy drum!" Assault on the enemy's central army. β
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Fifty heavy drums sounded at the same time, and the red flag was unfurled on the command platform, accurately conveying Zhang Xutuo's orders.
10,000 soldiers took the initiative to attack the opponent's nearly 200,000 troops.
In this world, who else is so arrogant except Zhang Xutuo?
Maybe Su You is also one, he used 3,000 defenders to attack the 80,000 army of Duan Ruqi and Pubu.
Zhai Rang looked at the indomitable momentum of Zhang Xutuo's army, and immediately gave the order for a general attack!
In addition to Zhai Rang's nearly 1,000 guards, nearly 200,000 people of the Wagang army rushed up, wanting to engulf Zhang Xutuo's 10,000 elites with crowd tactics
The sound of the golden drum changed again, and Zhang Xutuo's 10,000 people immediately divided into three phalanxes, rotating slowly forward like a millstone; The Wagang army did not have a lineup to speak of, and more than ten generals each led a team of 10,000 people, relying on the numerical superiority of moths to kill Zhang Xutuo's army.
No matter how the Wagang army attacked, Zhangxutuo County maintained three complete local formations, and they had only one goal,ββ Zhai Rang's banner of the Chinese army!
Zhang Xutuo had summed up the experience of nearly 100 victorious battles, and almost all the thieves he encountered had no training, no formation to speak of, and more importantly, their command was also useless.
Compared to being able to command columns of soldiers with flags, and the other party can only command 10,000 troops at a time, Zhang Xutuo is full of confidence.
What's more, almost every war won by Zhang Xutuo has one thing in common, that is, after the success of "capturing the thief and capturing the king first", the rest of the thieves will disperse in a hurry.
This time, Zhang Xutuo also used the experience of countless successes in the past to directly win Zhai Rang's Chinese army!
Li Mi, who was ambushed in the Great Sea Temple on the north side of the battlefield, finally shook his head helplessly, "Zhai Rang, this dead pig's head, didn't he say that he would use the wheel battle method to drag down Zhang Xutuo?" β
At the same time, when Li Mi looked at Zhang Xutuo's army lineup, he immediately realized that Zhang Xutuo had probably ambushed the new army, so he hurriedly sent scouts to investigate around the battlefield.
Finally, before Zhai Rang was completely defeated, Li Mi got the news that the two officers and soldiers hurried to the battlefield.
It also deserved to be Qin Shubao and Cheng Biting Jin's bad luck, they were discovered by Li Mi's scouts before they arrived at the Great Sea Temple.
Although Li Mi had not yet been able to determine who their leader was, he decisively sent the newly descended Pei Renji, Pei Yuanqing and his son, and Shan Xiongxin Xu Shiji, and ordered them to lead 10,000 men each to block the attack.
The scale of the sea temple is not small, there is a dense forest next to it, and there is a mountain behind the temple to block it, but the scale is not large; The left side of the mountain leads to Xingze, and the right side of the mountain goes to Guanzhou.
An army of 40,000 was ambushed in the dense forest around the Great Sea Temple.
In the main battlefield, after nearly two hours of fighting, the momentum of Zhang Xutuo's army has been completely beaten, and the Wagang army has a numerical advantage, but it will fall at the first touch.
Finally, the voice of rebellion was the first to shout out from the mouth of a new descendant, "Eight Winds Battalion!" β
"Zhang Xutuo's Eight Winds Camp!"
"Invincible Array, run away"
Panic is like a plague, one ten, ten and hundred, the position of the Wagang army began to waver, and how could the Wagang soldiers, who had been defeated in confidence, still hear the order in their ears?
At this time, the more than 100,000 Wagang troops on the battlefield can even be divided into more than a dozen camps if they are subdivided. - Some of them came from Benwagang, some came from Li Mi, some came from Wang Deren, Meng Rang and others, and some came with the original leader.
They come from all over the world, and their goals may be different, some hope to eat large pieces of meat, some hope to be able to drink in large bowls, some hope to be able to pull women, but none of them are looking for death.
The more than 100,000 troops of the Wagang Army, let them fight a tailwind battle to surround those cities that have no power to fight back, but they are about to encounter a hard stubble like Zhang Xutuo, then there is only one thought - go up!
They had a gap of nearly twenty times in numbers with Zhang Xutuo's army, but they were scattered, and at first they had to rush to the enemy with half a push and half under the military order, but after fighting for nearly two hours, they were finally completely defeated.
There are people in the Wagang army who know about the Eight Winds Camp, have you ever seen the Eight Winds Camp, you can see that their camp is rushing over like a meat grinding monster, and those who don't know should know.
Zhai Rang obviously also heard the name of the Eight Winds Camp, and immediately jumped in shock.
As the name suggests, the eight winds are the eight winds, which sounds pleasant, but it is better to live than die in them.
At that time, the thief commander Zuo Xiaoyou led 100,000 people to guard the squatting dog mountain, and Zhang Xutuo led the troops to encircle and suppress, although there were only more than 10,000 people, they could hold the main road and fight the enemy with the Eight Winds Battalion; As a result, Zuo Xiaoyou led the troops to rush more than ten times and couldn't break the formation, and finally the soldiers ran out of food and couldn't surrender unwillingly!
And now, "the defeat is like a mountain" is really right, the 50,000 Chinese troops of the Wagang Army without any loss took the lead and slowly retreated to the Dahai Temple in the north, which is also the retreat route that Zhai Rang and Li Mi have agreed on a long time ago.
As for the other teams, they scattered and fled
Zhang Xutuo watched Zhai Rang's banner go north, immediately smiled with relief, and shouted, "Chase and kill all the way, behead Zhai Rang, the reward is a thousand taels, and the official will be promoted to three levels!" β
Zhang Xutuo believed that Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao should have arrived at Dahai Temple a long time ago, and as for the reinforcements that Luo Shixin went to invite, they fell second.
At the same time, the golden drums also sounded on the side of the Great Sea Temple.
Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji led 10,000 troops alone, and one left and one right began to attack the 4,000 Sui troops led by Cheng Yanjin who had just run out of breath; Pei Renji and Pei Yuanqing also led 10,000 men each, and began to attack the 5,000 troops led by Qin Shubao before and after
Shan Xiongxin is the first brave general in Wagang, and the soldiers he leads are obviously not comparable to the soldiers on Zhai Rang's side, and as for the warriors led by Pei Yuanqing, let alone those who are not to mention.
Perhaps the individual combat ability of the 40,000 Wagang Army of Dahai Temple still cannot be compared with the army led by Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin; But they still have an absolute advantage in numbers, and with the addition of waiting for work, it can be said that they have taken advantage of the time, place and people.
After Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin encountered an ambush, they were stunned at that time.
Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin couldn't see Zhang Xutuo's big victory, and they had only one goal now, that is, to converge.
But how easy is that?
Under the almost desperate battle, the soldiers led by Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin were killed by more than 3,000 people, although the number of deaths in the Wagang army was twice as high as theirs, but the multiple gap between them was obviously getting bigger and bigger!
Dahai Temple and the place where Zhang Xutuo and Zhai Rang fought just now are separated by more than ten miles, but the shouts and killings in the two places can be heard clearly.
After about half an hour of fierce fighting, Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao finally converged together, but of the 9,000 soldiers they commanded, the rest did not even have 2,000.
They thought that they would be slaughtered in the enemy's ambush, but now they saw hope,ββ they saw the banner of Zhang Xutuo who was chasing and killing Zhai Rang's army.
The defeated army of Wagang was full of blood along the way, and it was enough to float.
Within half an hour of chasing and killing the defeated army of Wagang, Zhang Xutuo's army killed nearly 10,000 fleeing enemies, but this did not include Zhai Rang's 50,000 Chinese troops.
At this moment, Zhai Rang finally got the news of Li Mi's victory over Zhang Xutuo's reinforcements, and this news contained information that they had killed nearly 10,000 enemy troops with 40,000 people!
After hearing the news, Zhai Rang immediately cheered up again, reorganized his 50,000 people according to the woods, and covered up the enemy who was chasing Zhang Xutuo.
Zhang Xutuo knew that his ambush plan had failed as early as when the shouting of killing sounded early on the side of Dahai Temple, and it was also because of Li Mi that made him realize. ββWhen Zhang Xutuo didn't see Li Mi on the main battlefield, he had a premonition that things had changed.
But now, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin's team is not even 2,000 people, which he can't accept no matter what.
At this time, Zhang Xutuo should also have the consciousness of sending away Qin Shubao and Cheng Biting Jin, who are close to 2,000 people, but he feels that he owes these soldiers too much, especially Qin Shubao and Cheng Biting Jin, who are like his own sons.
"We must get them out!" Watching Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao's banners move towards his side from a distance, Zhang Xutuo secretly made up his mind, and then ordered the five hundred soldiers who had been following him for the longest time, and pointed in the direction of Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin and said, "Let's kill over there!" β
Five hundred people suddenly agreed, they had just broken away even the enemy's 200,000 troops, how could they be afraid of the 40,000 or 50,000 who fled here?
In fact, these five hundred people really have the strength to be worthy of their pride, and they brazenly changed into horses at this time, and the five hundred people turned into a whole and slaughtered into Zhai Rang's army like a fish/tornado
The well-organized Zhang Xutuo army made the Wagang army fearful, not to mention that now these five hundred soldiers who rushed over like tigers in the mountains and did not want to kill them?
Zhai Rang's Chinese army retreated one after another, and was immediately killed by the five hundred soldiers led by Zhang Xutuo.
Li Mi had already come to Zhai Rang's side at this time, and when he looked at Zhang Xutuo, who was only fifty zhang away from him at most, he finally coldly gave a secret order, "Chang He, it's up to you."
Chang He is twenty-eight years old this year, he has come to Nanzhong with Su You six years ago, and he has participated in three or five battles, large and small; This time, he came to the Central Plains as Li Mi's escort, and watched the rout of Zhai Rang's army, and he hated iron and steel.
At this time, after receiving Li Mi's order, Chang He was immediately shocked, and quickly gathered the other nineteen brothers from Nanzhong, and took their secret weapons to meet Zhang Xutuo's five hundred disciples.
Two and a half months ago, they blew up the Jindi Pass with these weapons.
They also have reason to believe that the flesh and blood of Zhang Xutuo and others are like paper paste in front of their secret weapons.
Zhang Xutuo's people rushed closer, closer
Chang He immediately ordered, and the weapons in their hands were thrown at the same time on the path that Zhang Xutuo had to pass.
Subsequently, the earth-shattering sound of "boom", "boom" and "boom" resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Dahaisi battlefield was quiet in an instant
