Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth defeated and killed
The battle was fierce, and the main force of the Sui army had collapsed and was destroyed by the elite army of Wagang Army and could not form a formation.
Zhang Xutuo was full of passion and grief and anger, and was full of murderous intent, and fought hard to kill more than a hundred Wagang soldiers who were rushing to him.
He was skilled in martial arts and brave in heavy weapons. He failed to encircle and suppress the Wagang Army. Soon, Zhang Xutuo rushed out, but he turned around and found that there were only more than ten personal guards left by his side.
I wanted to take away more soldiers, but it didn't work. Instead, I caught up with many people.
Those soldiers were not as brave as Zhang Xutuo, and they were as good as one, so they were quickly blocked and difficult to rush out.
Zhang Xutuo could not accept this result, so he turned around again and broke into it again, trying to find Cheng Zhijie and others, and rushed out with a group of main forces.
Fortunately, this is a place of melee. If the attack is not good, the arrows will accidentally hurt your own people. Otherwise, thousands of arrows will be shot at the same time, and Zhang Xutuo will be shot into a hedgehog no matter how high his skills are.
In this way, he fought four times and went out. Zhang Xutuo consumed a lot of energy. For the fifth time, he was surrounded by Wang Bodang, Xu Shiji, Li Mi and others. No matter how brave he was alone, he could not stop the joint efforts of these generals.
Especially Li Mi has unique skills, and she doesn't show off her mountains and rivers on weekdays, but today she becomes as fierce as a tiger and a leopard.
He just led Xu Shiji and others to besiege Zhang Xutuo, but he had trapped the other party and even suppressed Zhang Xutuo.
"You have nowhere to escape, surrender." Li Mi advised.
Zhang Xutuo was covered in blood, his hair was loose, and his arms were shaking violently. In today's battle, I don't know how many Wagang troops had been killed, at least hundreds of people, which caused him to be exhausted.
"I am a general of the Great Sui Dynasty and have been deeply favored by the emperor. How can I surrender to you and the traitors?"
Li Mi shouted: "Yang Guangwudao, do you still want to help the evildoer?"
Zhang Xutuo snorted coldly: "Even if your Majesty is not right, he is still the emperor. How could you and other traitors slander it?"
"It seems you are insisting on dying." Li Mi's face turned
Zhang Xutuo sneered. He was not afraid of death, and he was deeply favored by the emperor. He was defeated today, resulting in the destruction of the main force of the 50,000 Sui army. This failure left him without the face to survive again.
"How can you be worthy of the emperor's kindness in this way? How can Zhang Xutuo live in the world, surrender to the rebels, and destroy his innocence for a lifetime?" After Zhang Xutuo said that, he threw away his horse spear, pulled out his sword from his waist, and committed suicide directly.
"puff--"
Blood spurted out three feet, Zhang Xutuo cut off the major artery of the neck and carotid, and then fell to the ground and died.
A famous general at the end of the Sui Dynasty fell like this.
Li Mi looked at Zhang Xutuo's body, remained silent for a moment, and nodded slightly. Such a righteous general, even if he was an opponent, deserves respect.
"As soon as Zhang Xutuo died, Da Sui had no hope."
Xu Shiji nodded and said, "Yes, there are only a few well-known generals such as Qu Tutong, Luo Cheng, Yang Yichen, etc., but they are all scattered in various places and cannot affect the overall situation, nor can they save the fate of the Sui court."
Li Mi also knew that his emotions were high and defeating Zhang Xutuo was of great significance. Li Mi felt that his fame would soon spread all over the country and his popularity would be high. His status in the Wagang Army would be very strong and his prestige could surpass Zhai Rang.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the periphery, and Qin Qiong rushed over with three thousand iron cavalry.
When Li Mi heard a cavalry from the Sui army rushing towards him, he immediately asked Wang Bodang to take his men to intercept him.
Qin Qiong was worried and anxious at this time, worried that Zhang Xutuo, Cheng Zhijie and others would have an accident, so he urged Ma to come and wanted to reinforce and rescue the Sui army.
But the combat situation has completely lost control, or the Sui army has been completely suppressed.
"Go and rescue Marshal Zhang!"
Qin Qiong held a long spear and rushed into the enemy formation, stabbed and swept the enemy soldiers.
"Is the person who comes Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao?" Wang Bodang asked the Sui general with a horse spear in his hand.
Qin Qiong nodded and also looked at Wang Bodang.
Wang Bodang said, "I heard that Zhang Xutuo's three tiger generals were both wise and brave. Qin Qiong was most respected by Zhang Xutuo. It is not to be concealed that Zhang Xutuo has been defeated and killed. Cheng Zhijie and Luo Shixin have been injured and captured. If you can surrender to Wagang, you can still work with Cheng and Luo to continue working together and overthrow the Sui Dynasty."
Qin Qiong joined the army when he was young. He had nearly twenty years in a flash and fought under the tents of Lai Hu'er, Luo Zhaoyun and Zhang Xutuo. The soldiers had a strong temperament, so they would not be persuaded by Wang Bo and would still fight each other.
Although the three thousand iron cavalry attacked rapidly, they soon fell into the swamp like a cow, and fell into it, unable to extricate themselves.
"General Qin, we must withdraw as soon as possible, otherwise we will all be destroyed here." A chief lieutenant offered advice to Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong also realized that these thousands of troops were not enough to compete with the tens of thousands of Wagang Army. Especially the terrain here was not wide, and there were dead bodies and weapons on the ground. The war horses could not exert their huge impact advantage, so they could only choose to retreat.
"Qin Qiong, where are you going?" Wang Junguo caught up and was about to pick up Qin Qiong.
Wang Bodang and Wang Junguo wanted to intercept Qin Qiong and escape, but Qin Qiong was good at abilities and forced his troops to fight for a path of blood.
After the three thousand iron cavalry rushed out, only a few hundred cavalry were left and they fled.
However, everyone was injured and broke out in blood, and looked particularly depressed in the dusk.
Qin Qiong was sad and expressed his grief for Zhang Xutuo's death. After hearing the news that General Zhang was dead, the rest of the soldiers also started to cry.
In recent years, Zhang Xutuo has been the county magistrate in Qi County and is very kind to the local people. In addition, he loves soldiers like his sons and has a high prestige, so these soldiers are willing to serve Zhang Xutuo. In a year, sweeping so many rebels was related to his personal charm.
"General Qin, what are your plans next?" asked a Jian Jiewei named Xue Dun.
"General Zhang has been killed. We go to Xingyang to seek refuge with Marquis Yang Qing. If Xingyang cannot be protected, there is also General Pei Renji from Hulao Pass, which is worth our return."
Xue Dun shook his head and said, "Xingyang can't stand it for a long time. Besides, our commander was killed, but we fled back. According to the rules of Kaihuang Law, the main generals were killed and all the generals under his command would be punished. General Qin, you can't go back to Xingyang, otherwise, if the court holds the blame, you may be suspected of being ineffective in fighting and escaping without authorization."
"Then what do you think?" Qin Qiong always felt that this Jian Jiewei was a bit special, and he spoke clearly and was not an ordinary person.
Xue Dun said: "Why don't we go north and go to General Luo, Zhuo County..."
