"My lord, we only have 20,000 people, and the last general thinks that it is better to temporarily sit in Xingyang and recruit troops." On the city wall of Xingyang, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin accompanied Zhang Xutuo, with a worried look on their faces. During this time, although the army led by Zhang Xutuo was invincible in Shandong, the soldiers under his command all thought that Zhang Xutuo was the god of war and invincible. But Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin knew that the reason why these 20,000 horses were like this was because of Zhang Xutuo's efforts on the one hand, and Li Xin's support on the other hand, so that they could open up the situation in a very short period of time. It's just that Li Xin's support is not endless, and it has been almost consumed now.

More importantly, the current Zhang Xutuo army has not much supplies, although the army is very strong, but it is the end of the strong crossbow, before in Qi County, although the life is a little harder, but in the end it is Zhang Xutuo's base, Zhang Xutuo needs to recruit soldiers and horses, from the hands of the family to get some money and food weapons is still very easy, now in Xingyang, this place is very close to Luoyang, is one of the strongholds of the Kanto family, the Zheng family is camped here among the five surnames and seven hopes, according to the reason, There will be more money and food for soldiers and horses here, but what makes Zhang Xutuo very disappointed is that he does not get as much as he imagined, and it can even be said that it is very little. Therefore, his plan to recruit soldiers and horses was aborted again, and even the supplies were dependent on the supplies of the imperial court, and it was almost impossible to get more from the locality.

Zhang Xutuo nodded, shook his head quickly, and said, "Shubao, you think things are too simple, do you think that if you sit in Xingyang, there will be no matter?" You just want Yang Yichen, why isn't he Zhai Rang's opponent? Yang Yichen has many soldiers and horses, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, although Zhai Rang is powerful, but he is not without a chance to resist, and it is impossible not to even have a chance to defend the city. It's not his own reason, it's because of Xingyang City. Otherwise. Can a mere Zhai Rang crisscross the Central Plains for so long? On the one hand, the bandits of my Great Sui are still composed of poor people who can't eat, but more of them are supported by those big families. You have also seen what kind of attitude the families in Xingyang City have towards us these days. ”

"It's disgusting." Luo Shixin said viciously.

"So we have to go out of the city to fight?" Qin Qiong pinched her double hammer and said. His eyes flickered, full of anger, he was already extremely angry with the clans in the city, and it was conceivable that Li Mi and the others outside the city had already colluded with the clans in Xingyang City. You must know that Li Mi rebelled with Yang Xuangan near Xingyang, and in Xingyang, Li Mi is afraid that there are still some people who are willing to obey Li Mi's orders, which will make it much more difficult for Zhang Xutuo to recruit troops in Xingyang.

"Then you can only go out of the city and fight." Luo Shixin said loudly.

"Then go out of the city and fight." Zhang Xutuo said viciously. He looked at Xingyang City, the huge Xingyang City seemed to be a monster in front of him, ready to devour him at any time. He felt a chill in his heart, and his whole body felt tired, he was strong, although he was already in his fifties, but he fought all year round, and his martial arts were good, and ordinary people were not his opponents at all. Now in the face of such a shape, Zhang Xutuo also feels a feeling of powerlessness to return to heaven, and he is trapped internally and externally, so that he doesn't know what to do.

"Do your best. Leave it to fate! It's just a big deal to promise the country. Zhang Xutuo finally sighed, I don't know why, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Early the next morning, he led an army of 20,000 to attack Li Mi's army. Zhai Rang personally led the army to fight against him, and Xu Shiji, Shan Xiongxin and other generals of Wagangzhai appeared in the phalanx, facing Zhang Xutuo from afar.

"Zhai Rang. Li Mi is nothing more than that. Zhang Xutuo looked at the large army array in front of him, the tension in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, looked around and said: "Zhai Rang is a bandit in the end, if it is about demagoguery, I am not his opponent, but when it comes to marching and fighting, it is not good, such a military formation, but also want to defeat our army, it is really a joke." ”

"General, if you look at their flags, they seem to be a little less." Qin Qiong found that there seemed to be a lot fewer flags on the opposite side, at least there were no more Li Mi's flags, and said with some concern: "It's better to be careful, adults." The last general didn't seem to see Li Mi's banner. ”

"Li Mi is just a strategist, and he can also be in charge of the army? Strategists should be strategized in the middle of the battle, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away. I'm afraid he is still in Wagangzhai at this time! Zhang Xutuo said indifferently. In his heart, Li Mi is just a strategist, this point of view is not only him, but also other people think so, Yang Xuangan rebelled back then, didn't Li Mi act as a strategist?

Qin Qiong still felt that Zhang Xutuo did not put Zhai Rang in his heart, this was a kind of arrogant and rampant expression, Qin Qiong also felt that the enemy in front of him was somewhat the same, but there was something different, but he didn't think about it.

"Attack!" The lance in Zhang Xutuo's hand at this time took the lead, followed by Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong, and the 20,000 army roared away, killing Zhai Rang without thinking about it.

"Kill!" I have to say that it makes sense that Zhang Xutuo did not put Zhai Rang in his eyes, the army under his command fought in all directions, and it was almost an enemy who did not resist, and his subordinates in this situation, no matter how strong the enemy in front of them was, they dared to charge into battle and dare to defeat the enemy in front of them. The morale of tens of thousands of troops was like a rainbow, and under the leadership of Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, two fierce generals, Chao Zhai let the army rush over.

"Damn." Zhai Rang saw that Zhang Xutuo didn't even give him a chance to speak, so he rushed up without thinking. For a long time, the fear of Zhang Xutuo made Zhai Rang not even have a chance to resist, and he was ready to turn around and leave without thinking about it.

"Big leader, we can't go, we have to resist for a while." Shan Xiongxin beside him said loudly.

"Yes, big leader, we retreat now, I'm afraid Zhang Xutuo will find something, and he must resist for a while." The one who spoke was a middle-aged general, with a fair complexion and an elegant appearance, but his lips were thin and his eyes were cold, he was Xu Shiji, a famous general in Wagangzhai, and he was still very good in terms of using soldiers.

"Alright, let's attack together." After hearing this, Zhai Rang also gritted his teeth and said loudly: "It's a big deal to fight with Zhang Xutuo." ”

"The big leader can go first, and Big Brother Shan and I will block him first." Xu Shiji showed his own sleekness at this time, knowing that Zhai Rang was afraid of Zhang Xutuo, let Zhai Rang be here, and he didn't know what would happen, so it was better to take Zhai Rang away first, resist for a while, and then retreat. It will not arouse Zhang Xutuo's suspicion.

"In front of the army of my Great Sui Empire, to dare to be so presumptuous, it is simply looking for death." Zhang Xutuo looked at Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin who were roaring and did not take them to heart, but looked at Zhai Rang who was fleeing in the distance, his tiger eyes lit up, and the long lance in his hand swung the long arrows that came from him, and after stabbing the enemy who rushed up to death, he said to Qin Qiong beside him.

"Shubao, you are in command here, I will pursue Zhai Rang, and I can't let him escape." Zhang Xutuo didn't wait for Qin Qiong to answer, so he led thousands of elites to chase Zhai Rang in the distance. Whether it was Xu Shiji or Shan Xiongxin, Zhang Xutuo didn't take it to heart, he just cared about where Zhai Rang was, as long as he killed Zhai Rang, the Central Plains would be able to settle down.

"General." Qin Qiong's face changed, and he was about to shout, but he saw that Zhang Xutuo had already led the army to disappear in front of him, while Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji had already killed him.

"Qin Shubao, today you and I will fight it out, and see if you are a good Saimeng or a good judge." Shan Xiongxin looked at Qin Shubao, his eyes were full of a trace of fighting spirit, these two people are living in Shandong, both of them are also brave people, before joining the army, the two were still friends, but now one is a general under Zhang Xutuo, and the other is a person under the anti-thief Li Mi. Creation makes people, nothing more than that.

"Are you still afraid? Second brother Shan, I'll try it with you today. Qin Shubao was about to step forward to pursue Zhang Xutuo, but saw Shan Xiongxin blocking in front of him, the long lance in his hand was flying, although he couldn't hurt Qin Qiong in the slightest, but Qin Qiong himself couldn't defeat Shan Xiongxin, and the two sides instantly fell into a stalemate. Unlike Qin Qiong's nervousness, Shan Xiongxin's face showed smugness after the conspiracy succeeded.

"Shixin, go find General Zhang." Qin Qiong also noticed the smug look on Shan Xiongxin's face, panicked, and hurriedly said loudly to Luo Shixin.

"Shubao, isn't it too late to react at this time? Pushan County Justice led thousands of elites to ambush Zhang Xutuo! Zhang Xutuo is certain to die today. Shan Xiongxin said proudly: "Zhang Xutuo is really brave and unplanned, I'm afraid he will die here today." ”

"Impossible, Shan Xiongxin, your conspiracy will not succeed." Qin Qiong was shocked when he heard this, and the long lance in his hand attacked even more powerfully, and when he looked at Luo Shixin again, he saw two generals, one with a handsome appearance, the other with a strong and heroic appearance, and the two of them held the long lance in their hands, surrounding Luo Shixin, and the three of them fought for a while. Qin Qiong saw it clearly.

"Cheng bites gold." Qin Qiong recognized that the other party was his brother, but he didn't expect that there was another brother of his own in the chaotic army, which made him not know what to do. Although Luo Shixin is brave, but under the siege of Cheng Yanjin and Xu Shiji, in a short period of time, to solve these two people, the battle is again in the stalemate stage, and Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin are different from Xu Shiji and Shan Xiongxin are very happy, they themselves and others are here to block Zhang Xutuo's main force, in the distance, Zhang Xutuo is going to pursue Zhai Rang, and he will definitely fall into Li Mi's calculations. The chances of wanting to come back alive are slim. The characters of the two of themselves are to block Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin. (To be continued......)
