When Zhang Xutuo saw that the Wagang army finally collapsed, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His plan had been realized and he sneaked into the camp behind the Wagang army. Not to mention that the Wagang army was just a mob of peasant army, even a regular army, in the face of such a situation, he could only be passively beaten and his morale collapsed.

"Master Zhang, Li Mi personally fled to the direction of Daihai Temple with his remaining troops." The other party rode Jia Wubence over and reported.

Zhang Xutuo frowned. Although he had calculated the development of the situation ahead, he did not calculate the escape route behind him.

He asked Fan Hu to take five thousand troops and horses in advance to Jinti Pass behind the Wagang Army camp, but Li Mi changed the route and bypassed the ambush circle they set up.

Zhang Xutuo thought about it for a while, thinking that Li Mi was still a little capable and might be worried that he would be ambushed if he fled according to the same path, so he accidentally broke the ambush circle he set up.

"Marson, the Wagang Army is fleeing in disarray, or not?"

Zhang Xutuo glanced at him and Li Mi led a complete square formation in front, and there were 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers running and running to escape. This was a rare opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Wagang Army, and capture Li Mi and others alive to completely resolve the rebellion in Shandong and Henan.

If the chaos in the heartland of the Central Plains can be suppressed, the Sui Dynasty will still be able to regain its vitality, and the rest of the rebellions will be intimidated, and the court will have a chance to turn things around.

Zhang Xutuo shouted: "Send an order to pursue the whole county. In addition, send people to send a quick horse to send a letter to Fan Hu, transfer the ambush circle, and ambush the fork in front of Jinti Pass to stop Li Mi's escaped troops. They were circling the mountain and forest land of Daihai Temple, and they were definitely not as fast as Fan Hu and the others."

"Abide by the order!"

Zhang Xutuo said again: "Also, send someone to inform General Qin Qiong to completely destroy the Wagang Army camp, and then follow up and pursue it."

"Here!" Jia Wuben dropped his horse and went to pass the order.

Soon, the horns were heard together, and the mighty and majestic army of square formations, which had not moved for a long time, also started rumbling.

Zhang Xutuo personally directed the central army to attack the palace and pursued the palace. Luo Shixin and Cheng Zhijie in front were already leading the front army to hunt down the fleeing soldiers of Wagang.

The defeat was like a mountain of fallen, and the Wagang army was not the main elite. Many new troops were mixed together. When they learned that the army was defeated, the camp had been destroyed, so they rushed forward crying and shouting. It was not false at all. The soldiers of the Sui army did not suspect that they were cheating because it was too realistic.

In fact, even the Wagang Army itself didn't know that there was a fraud, let alone the Sui Army.

This is what Li Mi is cruel about. He completely treats these people as cannon fodder and turns them into bait, waiting for the prey to be hooked into the trap.

Luo Shixin rushed into the Wagang Army with only dozens of cavalry, hoping to kill more military generals in the enemy army and make even greater contributions.

Cheng Zhijie was worried that he would make mistakes and kept urging the cavalry to follow him. At the same time, he had to command the infantry to follow him, so he was so busy that he was overwhelmed.

"This scholar is too reckless." Cheng Zhijie sighed in his heart and complained.

The Sui army chased for more than 20 miles and killed more than 10,000 deserters again, resulting in the number of Wagang Army killed in battle today. It can be said that the Sui army has won a great victory so far, and the shortcoming of the United States is that it has not yet caught up with Li Mi and others.

Luo Shixin summoned, so he led dozens of cavalry to stop attacking the deserters around him, and wanted to catch up with Li Mi's team first, bite its central army, and prevent Li Mi from escaping.

Finally, Li Mi led his army to the foot of the mountain where the Rihai Temple was located, the ancient Buddhist temple, the sound of the Buddhist temple was lingering, the sound of the bell was bright, and the secret spread.

This Daihai Temple was founded in the early Northern Wei Dynasty. Legend has it that Guanyin traveled north and moved to Xingyang. From then on, the moat of Xingyang began to fall with the tides of the sea. Therefore, it was named Daihai Temple, which means replacing the South China Sea. Therefore, Daihai Temple became the second hometown of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Zhang Xutuo personally led his troops to catch up with him." Sima Cui Shishu next to him said excitedly.

Li Mi breathed a sigh of relief. This battle was given to the Sui army for no reason, and was sacrificed, and finally led Zhang Xutuo and others into the encirclement.

"The Sui army only consumed 10,000 people, and the main force is still there. After a while, there will be a fierce battle. Fortunately, the elite Sui army has fought a lot, and then we will use our elite army to fight their main force to take advantage of the ambush. They will set up encirclements at layers of layers. Now they can't fly." Li Mi led his men to continue moving forward, and then stayed for several miles ahead.

In fact, it is difficult for this army to stop. It is not possible to rely on military orders alone. They are all fleeing, but there are heavy armored soldiers in front of them forming a line of defense, which prevents the deserters from continuing to move forward.

These soldiers were stunned and shouted, why should they intercept their own people?

"Everything is quiet, listen to the general's training."

Since the soldiers in the square formation have not fought, they are particularly strong in their physical strength. The feeling of death is not as strong as those on the front line, and they soon calm down.

Li Mice came out and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, thank you for your hard work. Although our army seems to be defeated, the general has installed tens of thousands of ambush troops here. He has been waiting for Zhang Xutuo, Luo Shixin and others to arrive. You wait for the soldiers to rest on the spot and wait for a while to counterattack the Sui army. Our chance to take revenge is coming soon."

The news spread, and the 20,000 soldiers were stunned. It turned out that they had not yet been defeated?

Everyone was skeptical and discussed, suspecting that this was the commander's plan to stabilize the morale of the army.

At this moment, the ambush circle at the foot of Daihai Temple Mountain suddenly heard the remaining battle horses that were knocked down. Luo Shixin and others were tripped by horses, and the fishing net was suddenly trapped, and then arrows flew over and shot many people to death.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhijie immediately sent people to reinforce. The pursuit army rushed forward, but two groups of people rushed out of the dense forest and surrounded the Sui army's vanguard.

The fleeing soldiers saw that there were Wagang soldiers fighting back, and subconsciously waved their swords to fight back, and the two sides fought together.

When Zhang Xutuo led his troops to come, he heard the sound of fighting in front of him and thought he had caught up with Li Mi and others, so he ordered the entire army to suppress and annihilate the Wagang army here.

Suddenly, in the jungle and on the hillside, there was a roar of howling through the air, and arrows flying all over the sky were like raindrops toward the arrival of the main force of the Sui army.

The sky was covered with arrow feathers and was covered with darkness. When it landed, waves of wailing sounds came from the Sui army, causing damage to the Sui army.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!" It was like thunder in the clear sky, war drums roared from all directions of the mountains, and the shouts of killing came from the mountains on three sides and the jungle like a tide!

"There is a fraud here!" Zhang Xutuo realized that the situation had changed, but the retreat was blocked, and the ambush was closed, which immediately suppressed the morale of the Sui army.

Li Mi and Xu Shiji led more than 20,000 troops to re-emerge the battlefield for reinforcements, and their morale was greatly boosted, which caused the ambush circle to fall into a melee. The Sui army was surrounded and the water was out of touch, and the situation was in danger.

—————

&bsp;ps: Correction of error: At the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was called Daihai Temple, and later it was changed to Dahai Temple. It was because during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Li Yuan was appointed as the prefect of Xingyang County. Li Shimin suffered from eye disease and was unable to seek famous doctors. Later, he went to Daihai Temple to seek Buddha and recover immediately. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he ordered Yuchi Jingde to expand Daihai Temple, which was twenty miles long from east to west and eighteen miles wide from north to south, and was as large as the sea, so it was called Dahai Temple. Later, it was destroyed by the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Obviously, this time it was called Daihai Temple. I was negligent and did not check it in advance. I was influenced by the film and television dramas and thought it was called Dahai Temple at this time.
