Chapter 269 First Battle

Zhao Mingyuan gradually mastered this army through repeated discipline practices and repeated heart-to-heart talks.

Although I dare not say it is like a finger arm, at least it seems to be a qualified army.

But it is more about faith. The soldiers' eyes of Zhao Mingyuan's army are bright, with light in their eyes, full of hope and longing.

The army with faith in the heart is different, and Zhao Mingyuan knows it very well.

He is looking forward to the performance of the troops this time.

And this opportunity soon emerged.

Soon, Wagang Village mobilized to formally attack Luokoucang. Zhao Mingyuan's team was sending troops.

Zhao Mingyuan had long expected these things, and even made some preparations in normal times. Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan's team soon sent troops.

To fight Luokoucang, you must pass through the Xingyang Pass. The famous general Zhang Xutuo has already been there, and a tough battle is inevitable.

Zhao Mingyuan knew that it was a war that determined the fate of Wagang Village, the battle of Dahai Temple. It was also where Li Mi made his mark.

Li Mi offered advice for Zhai Rang, pretending to be defeated and lured the enemy into the deep. Later, he personally led 1,000 cavalry to charge and reverse the situation.

Li Mi even killed Zhang Xutuo, a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, in this battle, and achieved a decisive victory.

Zhang Xutuo is the most powerful general in the Sui Dynasty today. He has destroyed many rebel troops. He is the veritable pillar of the country.

In this battle, even Zhang Xutuo was killed. Suddenly, the uprising of the heroes in the world became more and more intense.

As soon as Zhang Xutuo died, the imperial court of the Great Sui Dynasty completely lost control of the Central Plains, and the Central Plains became a place for various rebels to compete with each other.

Just like this, a warrior who shed all his last drop of blood for the Great Sui Dynasty, the Sui Emperor Yang Guang later paid a posthumous gift to the Jinzi Guanglu Dafu, the governor of Xingyang County, and the final posthumous title was just a fifth-rank official.

How can people in the world not feel disheartened when they see this?

No one is willing to sacrifice bloodshed for the Great Sui Dynasty.

After that, the situation suddenly changed, and the reputation of Wagang Village was at its peak.

In the past, Wagang Village was beaten by the Sui army and ran away. Now that we have such a big victory, we are no longer afraid and dare to confront the Sui army head-on.

In this battle, Wagang Village showed courage and courage.

Li Mi, who made a decisive contribution to this victory, was naturally reused by Zhai Rang.

Zhai Rang even rebel Li Mi, who made great contributions, established a separate army, so that his commanders could be deployed into a system, called "Pushan Public Camp".

Since then, Li Mi's reputation has increased, attracted many followers, and provided great help for his later seizing the power of Wagang Village.

But although Zhao Mingyuan knew this clearly, it was difficult to control it.

After all, others are slight, and even if you know many things, it is difficult to change the result even if you say them out.

Since that's the case, it's better to find a way to strengthen your strength first.

Zhao Mingyuan believed that as long as he was not deliberately sent to death and experienced a few wars, he would definitely grow.

In fact, Zhao Mingyuan now only has 2,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled people. Naturally, no one will ask him to be responsible for any important work.

Didn’t that Minghuang let him die?

Even if someone really hates him, it is impossible to arrange such an obvious murder mission.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan is only the main guard and guard army, about twenty or thirty miles away from the main army, and is exploring and alerting forward.

There are many teams surrounding the main force like this, and Zhao Mingyuan’s 2,000 people are just one of them.

In fact, Zhao Mingyuan’s 2,000 men were not just military troops, but only auxiliary soldiers, and no one had high expectations for them.

Even in the eyes of the Sui army, they were just gathering refugees, and these old, weak, sick and disabled were not considered military at all.

In Zhang Xutuo's eyes, only tens of thousands of young and strong men under Zhai Rang's command in Wagang Village were considered as an army, and he could not take it seriously.

Zhang Xutuo only brought 20,000 Sui troops and dared to face the tens of thousands of troops in Wagang Village. Even Zhang Xutuo firmly believed that he would win again as before.

Zhao Mingyuan's headquarters is located in front of the main force. Although there are some dangers, it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't hit the main brigade of the Sui army.

After all, they are mainly responsible for vigilance and investigation. Even if they really encounter a large group of troops from the Sui army, they just need to report the news quickly and run away.

No one really expects them to fight against the large army, and they don’t even give anyone that kind of order. Because everyone knows that if the order cannot be done, it will be useless, and will instead make the morale of the army unstable.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan's mentality is still very stable now.

After all, as a master of sympathy between heaven and man, if he really encounters danger, he will sense different things in advance. Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan has absolute confidence.

Zhao Mingyuan led his troops to continue moving forward, and now he is getting closer and closer to Xingyang. Sui army may appear at any time, so Zhao Mingyuan naturally should be careful.

After all, although he would not be in any danger and no one could keep him, his soldiers might not be there.

Zhao Mingyuan heard a sound from afar and made a cautious order. Then the messenger's flags were waving. In less than three breaths, the entire army became quiet from near to far.

Zhao Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that the training camp was quite effective.

The sound in the distance became clearer and clearer. Not only Zhao Mingyuan, but other soldiers also gradually heard it clearly. A team of cavalrymen was cycling. It seemed that there were more than a hundred cavalry.

Everyone looked at Zhao Mingyuan, or not to fight?

Zhao Mingyuan also had a headache. Cavalry has always been a crushing advantage over infantry, and can often fight five with one, or even one with ten with one.

Moreover, most of the people led by Zhao Mingyuan were the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and they were afraid that they would be penetrated by more than a hundred cavalry at once. As long as they rushed back and forth a few more times, they might be killed and dispersed.

Fortunately, this place is in the woodland. Although the woods are sparse and not very dense, apart from the road opened up in the middle, the woods next to them are indeed not suitable for cavalry fighting, and there is still a fight.

After thinking about it, Zhao Mingyuan decided to fight.

After all, their morale is full. If they see the enemy but are afraid of fighting, their morale will inevitably fall sharply. I am afraid that they will shrink when they encounter the enemy again and dare not fight against the enemy.

Zhao Mingyuan thought to himself that he could cheat and show off his martial arts skills on the field.

After all, almost every senior executive in Wagang Village now has good martial arts skills. If Zhao Mingyuan does not show some martial arts skills, he will be looked down upon.

Although Zhao Mingyuan never said that he could not be martial arts, most people judge people by their appearance. Judging from his youth, no one has ever thought how high his martial arts are.

Since that's the case, it's better to show off your skills. Of course, you don't have to use all your strength. With Zhao Mingyuan's age, as long as he is a congenital master, he will never be underestimated.

Since his idea was settled, Zhao Mingyuan sent an order to ambush everyone on both sides of the road, obeying the orders and preparing to ambush.

The order was immediately passed. Soon, everyone was hiding on both sides of the road, with their eyes eager to try, and they were ready to go to the battle.

After all, Zhao Mingyuan has been inspiring for so long, everyone has already been excited and wished they could fight the Sui army earlier, but unfortunately they have never had a chance.

Now, after finally having the opportunity, everyone naturally doesn’t want to miss it.

Soon, a rapid sound of horse hooves came.

But Zhao Mingyuan immediately found something wrong. It seemed that there were only five or six horses. This was a small team, and it should be a horse exploration.

Of course, Zhao Mingyuan naturally would not attack and let them pass.

Fortunately, everyone hid well and galloped past the horse, but did not find them.

After a while, two riders turned around. It should have been back to report the news.

Zhao Mingyuan found that this team was disciplined and although it was only a team of more than a hundred people, the rules in the marching were extremely strict.

Obviously, this team must be elite. They may have encountered a big fish by chance. They don’t know who the leader of this cavalry team is.

However, it seems that this person is definitely not an ordinary person.

There have always been few cavalry in the Central Plains. Although Zhang Xutuo was a famous general of the Sui Dynasty and repeatedly destroyed various rebel armies, he was actually not liked by Yang Guang.

Therefore, there were not many cavalry under his command, but I was afraid that there were only a thousand cavalry in total. In addition, there were also needs to explore horses to convey information, so the actual cavalry was probably only a few hundred cavalry.

There are more than a hundred cavalry here, but I am afraid that they must be Zhang Xutuo's confidant and must be some of their ability.

For a moment, Zhao Mingyuan regretted whether he was a little reckless and underestimated the enemy. Maybe it would be better if he let them go like this.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired.

It would be even more disappointing if I didn't give the order just now. Since I was ready to ambush now, I saw the enemy right in front of me and let the enemy leave, it would be even more disappointing. Let's just leave Wagang Village and don't go this way.

Zhao Mingyuan thought this way, and soon another sound of horse hooves came.

After hearing the sound, Zhao Mingyuan immediately determined that there were more than a hundred riders coming, and the speed was not fast, so it was the cavalry team that came.

As they got closer, everyone knew that the battle was about to happen, and they all held their breath and remained silent.

Zhao Mingyuan looked at the Sui army soldiers gradually approaching in the distance.

I saw that a man was wearing armor and a yellow horse under his crotch, looking majestic, probably their leader.

But the temperament of this person is definitely not like the captain of a 100-person team. It seems that Zhao Mingyuan has really encountered a big fish.

The other party's horse was not fast, but it was getting closer and closer. They were about to step into Zhao Mingyuan and the others' encirclement.

But Zhao Mingyuan suddenly saw that the general who was leading the way suddenly raised his eyebrows, raised one hand up as if he wanted to stop the team, and reached out to the saddle with the other hand.

Discovered!

Zhao Mingyuan immediately understood.

Before he could think too much, Zhao Mingyuan shouted, "Come with me!"

As he said that, he immediately led the crowd to rush over.

The general was the courage of the soldiers. Seeing that Zhao Mingyuan rushed forward without moving forward, the soldiers shouted and rushed out of the forest on both sides of the road.

In an instant, it blocked the Sui army's way and surrounded them.
Chapter completed!
