Zhang Xutuo was overjoyed, he saw Zhai Rang from a distance and wanted to escape, so he immediately led his troops to chase after him, wanting to end the main character of the Wagang Army.
Zhai made martial arts commonplace, where was Zhang Xutuo's opponent, seeing him lead the troops to kill, he was so frightened that he left the army and turned around and ran.
Seeing that the main general had fled, the Wagang army suddenly became like a deflated ball, and they had no intention of resisting, and they followed Zhai Rang's pace and fled eastward.
The Sui army chased after them, chasing six or seven miles in a row, and won countless victories, and just as they chased to the vicinity of the Dahai Temple outside Xingyang City, the two cavalry of the Wagang army, which had already been ambushed here, suddenly rushed out of the woods, one left and one right.
I saw that the people were like gods and horses, and the generals on the left rushed all the way into the Sui army's formation, like a wolf entering a flock, and the tiger descending the mountain was unstoppable, and the formation of the left wing of the Sui army was disrupted in an instant.
And the general on the right has a bow in his hand, a pot of arrows on his back, three arrows in a row, no false shots, every arrow must have a person fall in response, and this Wagang army is also like a tiger under his leadership, rushing into the Sui army's array, and the right wing of the Sui army was also cut off.
These two cavalry came so fast, only a few breaths, it has already divided the Sui army from the middle into two, cut into two, the end can not look at each other, it is difficult to echo before and after, and after the cavalry came out, the flags in all directions covered the sky for a time, the crowds were crowded, and countless Wagang troops joined the battlefield from all directions, and the Sui army fell into a heavy encirclement.
And the Wagang army, which had collapsed and was still retreating in defeat, saw that its reinforcements were coming, and the enemy army was surrounded, and its morale was greatly boosted, and they shouted a fierce battle with their weapons and rejoined the battlefield, and the Sui army suddenly fell into an extremely unfavorable predicament.
Zhang Xutuo was taken aback, knowing that he was too anxious, so he fell into the other party's plan to lure the enemy, but at this time it was useless to think about it, it was useless to blame himself, and he must immediately lead the army to break out, he immediately dispatched troops, and ordered a member of the general to go to stop the general who made the bow, and he led people to stop the general who made the horse lance, and now he must first bring the army together, otherwise he will definitely be broken by the other party.
The fierce general who made the horse lance was the general of Wagangzhai Shan Xiongxin, he saw a silver-armored and gold-helmeted Dajiang lifting a knife to kill him, and immediately knew the identity of the other party, so he gave up the Sui army around him, and urged the horse to go straight to Zhang Xutuo.
The two didn't talk to each other, and as soon as they came up, they fought fast and killed like a horse.
Zhang Xutuo is known as Zhang Crazy Knife, it is said that his knife technique is completely disregarding his life to fight to the death, the knife is very fast, the strength is strong, and completely regardless of defense, it is completely a life-fighting style of play, although there is a great risk in such a way of playing, but it will exert a lot of psychological pressure on the opponent, when fighting, you may be afraid of being afraid of being injured, and you may only be able to play six or seven percent of your strength, so there are few people who have made moves with Zhang Xutuo, basically few can get out of the body.
But this time, Zhang Xutuo met the same regardless of life and death, the courage of Shan Xiongxin, Shan Xiongxin mixed in the green forest, and practiced an amazing courage, at this time in the face of Zhang Xutuo's lifeless style of play, he was not afraid at all, and even gave up defense, and also used the style of fighting for his life, so in the eyes of outsiders, the fight between these two people is too thrilling, and every minute and every second may decide life and death, not at all like the kind of evenly matched in a normal battle.
The more Zhang Xutuo fought, the more frightened he became, his martial arts were not lost to Shan Xiongxin, and he was even able to suppress him, but he had no way to win in a short period of time, and at this time his army obviously couldn't support much time, which made his heart anxious, and when he was in a hurry, the movements in his hands naturally sped up, Shan Xiongxin's face was already black, and at this time, the blood and qi surged up under the full force of his strength, forcing his face to turn red, and it looked like he was about to explode.
Li Mi, who was watching the battle from a safe place in the distance, had been watching the situation on the battlefield, and he was also very surprised to see that Shan Xiongxin was not defeated under such a fierce attack by Zhang Xutuo.
He saw Zhang Xutuo and Shan Xiongxin fighting viciously, and Shan Xiongxin seemed to have lost the upper hand, so he found the opportunity, and shot an arrow with a whoosh, and went straight to Zhang Xutuo's position, Zhang Xutuo heard the wind, hurriedly lowered his body to dodge, and wanted to avoid this arrow, but how could Wang Bodang's arrow angle tricky, it was rushing to his waist and eye, he lowered his body, not only did not dodge this arrow, but sent his shoulder over.
Wang Bodang's arrow was fast and ruthless, Zhang Xutuo only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and the entire left half of his body couldn't exert his strength, and at this time, Shan Xiongxin stabbed him with a lance, and he was about to stab him to death, but no one expected that Shan Xiongxin suddenly withdrew his hand, and the tip of the horse lance stopped at a position one inch away from Zhang Xutuo's heart, and did not move forward.
"Old general, surrender, don't resist stubbornly in the corner!"
Shan Xiongxin also admired Zhang Xutuo's character, knowing that he was an honest official, caring for the people and soldiers, and was a rare general, so he couldn't bear to kill him like this.
"Traitor, if you want to kill, you will kill, why do you need to say more!"
Zhang Xutuo swept away his horse lance with a knife, and several personal soldiers rushed up, escorting Zhang Xutuo to retreat backwards, and blocking the road pursued by Shan Xiongxin to prevent him from pursuing.
Shan Xiongxin sighed, cut down these soldiers, and did not continue to pursue Zhang Xutuo, but ran towards the other Sui soldiers.
The soldiers escorted Zhang Xutuo into the army, pulled out the arrow from his body, and bandaged his wounds, trying to protect him from his escape.
Zhang Xutuo looked up to the sky and said: "The defeat has reached such a point, how can you still have the face to see the Son of Heaven?" So he dismounted and abandoned the long knife in favor of a short one, and rushed into the enemy line with his soldiers, ready to fight to the death.
At this time, the Sui army had been surrounded into an iron pass, and the soldiers of the Wagang army began to use shields to form a shield wall, supplemented by pikemen assassination, and gradually forced the Sui soldiers to a very small position.
"Ready, put!"
Behind the army, Wang Bodang, who had dismounted, commanded a large number of archers, kept putting arrows in the pile of Sui soldiers, the Sui army because of the small space, there was no way to avoid it, there were countless arrows, and they wanted to rush out but could not break out of the shield wall at all, and gradually the number of remaining soldiers became smaller and smaller, and the corpses on the battlefield were stacked higher and higher, and finally all the Sui army was killed, and none of them were spared.
