Shang Rang tried his best to organize the retreat of the army, he already knew that he was facing the iron-blooded army of Shannan West Road, thinking of the encounter of Huang Kui and the 20,000 army led by Huang Kui, Shang Rang only felt a chill in his heart, he could not have imagined that the iron-blooded army thousands of miles away would suddenly appear in Luoyang, and would seize such a favorable opportunity to launch a surprise attack, and judging from the momentum of the iron-blooded army's attack, this army was extraordinary.

The losses were extremely heavy, especially the officers in the army, who were almost completely lost, which also led to the fact that the team could not be organized quickly, and in the face of the fierce offensive of the iron-blooded army, they could only retreat and flee for their lives.

Shang Rang also thought of Zhao Zhang, who was still in the Chinese military tent, but there were still 500 personal soldiers guarding the Chinese military tent, and the problem should not be big, and Zhao Zhang was very smart, and he would definitely take measures if he found that the situation was wrong.

Faintly, Shang Rang seemed to see the mysterious Li Rupei, riding a jujube red war horse, surrounded by a lot of sergeants, but because of the chaos of the battlefield, Shang Rang did not see it clearly, but he already understood that this royal disciple who was named the king of Yi by the imperial court and concurrently served as the envoy of Shannan West Province must be the fierce rival of the general Huang Chao in the future.

The team began to gather slowly, and finally some sergeants resisted under the command of Shang Rang and others.

It was also at this time that the war horses and shouts galloping from the direction of the Chinese military tent came.

"If you don't surrender quickly, Zhao Zhang has been killed by the Iron and Blood Army, the Chinese army tent has been occupied by the Iron and Blood Army, the marshal is merciful, those who surrender on their knees will not die, and the rest will be killed......

Shang Rang's body on horseback trembled slightly, he didn't believe that Zhao Zhang was killed, this must be the strategy of the Iron Army, and when he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, Zhao Zhang's body was carried over under the light of the torch.

Now everyone saw it.

Shang Rang's eyes turned black and he almost fainted.

The army that had just been gathered began to shake in an instant, and some sergeants even turned their weapons and prepared to surrender, in their opinion, Zhao Zhang was killed by the Iron and Blood Army, and the Chinese military tent was occupied by the Iron and Blood Army.

Shang Rang, who fainted for a short time, knew that the situation was critical, and at this time, any agitation words had no effect, and the next thing he should do was to rush out of the camp with the remaining sergeants and retreat desperately in the direction of Kaifeng.

Guarded by his own soldiers, Shang Rang began to rush towards the outside of the camp.

Strange to say, he and his own soldiers easily rushed out of the promise, and the Sergeant of the Iron Blood Army did not stop and fight.

In fact, Shang Rang understands that even if he wants to withdraw from the camp, it is not so easy, the personal soldiers around him are the strongest, but the personal soldiers around Zhao Zhang are also strong, guarding the Chinese military tent, and they were actually broken by the Iron Blood Army, and Zhao Zhang was actually killed, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Iron Blood Army is extremely prominent.

There were not many sergeants who withdrew, and the team rushed towards Kaifeng in a sparse manner, and all the grain, grass and baggage were lost, and it was very good to be able to save their lives at this time.

It wasn't until the sky was slightly bright that Shang Rang stopped, and the war horse under his crotch was already foaming at the mouth, and he couldn't run at all.

After stopping, the pro-soldiers around him began to count the number of people, and Shang Rang, who got the result, had a brief fainting again, and the 50,000 army followed the withdrawal of less than 10,000 people, which is not much different from the annihilation of the whole army, you must know that the 50,000 army allocated to him by Huang Chao is the elite of the army, one night passed, the loss was more than 40,000 people, Zhao Zhang was also killed by the iron-blooded army, such a loss, the general could not bear it, and he still couldn't bear it.

After coming to his senses, Shang Rang pulled out the Tang knife.

"General, his subordinates are still damned, they have not been able to protect General Zhao, the army has suffered heavy losses, and his subordinates have no face to see the general, so they can only apologize with death......"

The pro-soldiers had already found out that Shang Rang's situation would not, and when they saw him pull out the Tang knife, a pro-soldier immediately leaned over, one pro-soldier pinched the handle of the Tang knife, one pro-soldier held Shang Rang's waist, and the other two pro-soldiers tried their best to pull Shang Rang off the horse.

Tang Dao was taken away by the soldiers around him, and it was impossible to commit suicide and apologize.

The soldiers around him also spoke, and the most they said was to quickly report the situation here to the general, and wait for the general to lead the army to come to destroy the iron-blooded army and avenge General Zhao Zhang and his dead brothers.

The night had not been slept, all the sergeants were disgraced, and the blood stains on some of the sergeants had not yet dried up completely.

Shang Rang looked at these sergeants silently for a long time before he spoke.

"It's all the negligence of so-and-so, which caused the brothers to suffer, and so-and-so will confess to the general, all the brothers who rushed out with a certain rush are the bravest sergeants, don't be discouraged, when the general leads the army to arrive, you will definitely be able to completely exterminate the iron-blooded army......"

When he said these words, Shang Rang's confidence was obviously insufficient.

The loss of sergeants is not the biggest problem, think about the beginning of the year, the army suffered heavy losses in the south, but it was soon able to recruit enough sergeants, and it was Zhao Zhang who could not forgive himself was Zhao Zhang.

Zhao Zhang is the first strategist under Huang Chao, smart and wise, he has given Huang Chao a lot of strategies, and Zhao Zhang's biggest advantage is that he can boost morale, whenever Huang Chao feels discouraged or disappointed, Zhao Zhang can calmly make an analysis, so that Huang Chao has confidence again, and now Zhao Zhang was killed by the Iron and Blood Army, which is equivalent to making Huang Chao lose an arm, and such serious consequences are much more fatal than the loss of sergeants.

The momentum and courage of the iron-blooded army, Shang Rang thoroughly understood, he was a little hesitant, even if the general led the army to come, could he defeat the iron-blooded army, I'm afraid there is not much hope, in just over two months, the iron-blooded army actually exterminated more than 60,000 soldiers, killed Huang Kuo and Zhao Zhang, so that Huang Chao lost the most powerful strategist and the most trusted general, who can bear such a heavy blow.

Looking up at the sky, Shang Rang spoke again, his voice low.

"Pass the order, leave a hundred people here to wait, see if there are any brothers who have retreated, the rest follow a certain departure, don't stop, and directly meet with the general, the iron-blooded army has achieved such a major victory, if you continue to pursue, you can't resist, only if you make peace with the general, is it really safe."

The tired sergeant did not rest and set off again, but at this time, their speed slowed down significantly, and the war horse under the crotch was unbearable, and if they lost the war horse, there was only one way to die.

Li Rupei did not order the army to pursue, which made Gao Chibang, Huang Biao and others a little incomprehensible, and even Xie Yuxin and Qin Erhei, who were not very familiar with combat, thought that they must pursue, seize the opportunity, and strive to completely destroy the opponent.

However, Li Rupei made a decision, and they will not raise any objections.

The victory of this battle was too great, the Iron Blood Army lost less than 1,000 soldiers, but more than 20,000 soldiers under the command of Huang Chao were killed, and more than 10,000 soldiers surrendered, that is to say, less than 10,000 soldiers escaped.

Needless to say, the grain and grass are heavy, Shang Rang has no chance to take it away, and there is no chance to burn it, all of it belongs to the Iron Army.

The biggest victory was the killing of Zhao Zhang, the first strategist of the Yellow Nest, who could only enter the Netherworld with hatred.

Looking at everyone's eager expressions and appearances, Li Rupei spoke expressionlessly.

"The victory achieved this time is huge, but you all have to remember that the iron-blooded army just seized the opportunity and succeeded in the sneak attack, so with such a major victory, the real test is still ahead, Huang Chao learned the news, and will definitely lead the army to fight, and then it will be the real test, Huang Chao still has more than 100,000 troops under his command, and 20,000 iron-blooded soldiers have to deal with 100,000 troops, this pressure is very great, so the most important task at present is to let the soldiers rest well and prepare for greater challenges, As for the more than 10,000 people who surrendered, they were all escorted to Luoyang City and strictly guarded. ”

"From the point of view of time, it will take at least a day for Huang Chao to be able to get here, and when the time comes, the brothers who are resting well will wait for their work, so that they can kill Huang Chao's sharp spirit, so that he will be willing to leave the north and return to the south."

"By the way, Xie Yuxin, when I contacted Liu Yunzhang, I said that the loss of the iron-blooded army was very large, and asked Luoyang to give a large amount of supplies, otherwise the iron-blooded army would not be able to resist the attack of Huangchao, you directly put it up and asked, just say so-and-so, grain, grass, war horses, armor, weapons, etc., all need to be supplied, otherwise the iron-blooded army is undersupplied, and it is difficult to resist Huangchao's army, and it will be withdrawn, these prisoners, Liu Yunzhang is required to be strictly guarded, and there is no slightest mistake."

After the arrangement, Huang Biao and others went to arrange, leaving Gao Chibang.

"Dashuai, my subordinates really didn't expect that the role of two hundred people was so huge, breaking through the Chinese military tent and seizing a large number of materials, including the letters from Shang Rang and Zhao Zhang to contact Huang Chao."

"General Gao, a team of 200 people is not enough, a certain goal is to expand to about 1,000 people, a certain to rely on these sergeants to complete impossible tasks, training sergeants, and ask General Gao to be responsible, although he is ruthless during training, those who can afford to stay in the team, and those who can't bear to go back, this team, a certain look is called special forces, they are the army that undertakes special tasks in the future, their treatment and salary are different from ordinary sergeants, and even higher than the treatment of some officers."

Gao Chibang nodded frequently, he had already understood the importance of this team, just now Li Rupei named this army Special Forces, this title sounds different from the ordinary.
