Chapter 269 The First Battle
Zhao Mingyuan gradually mastered this army through repeated discipline drills and repeated heart-to-heart talks.

Although I dare not say that it is as good as it is, at least it looks like a qualified army.

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

An army with faith in its heart is different, and Zhao Mingyuan knows it all too well.

He is looking forward to the performance of the troops.

And the opportunity presented itself quickly.

Soon, Wagangzhai mobilized to formally attack Luokoucang.And Zhao Mingyuan's team is on the way.

Zhao Mingyuan had expected these things, and even prepared for them at ordinary times.Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan's team soon dispatched troops.

To open a warehouse in Luokou, one must go through the pass of Xingyang.And the famous general Zhang Xutuo has already guarded there, a tough battle is inevitable.

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

Li Mi offered advice for Zhai Rang, pretending to be defeated, and luring the enemy to go deep. Later, he personally led 1000 cavalry into the battle, turning the tide of the battle.

Even Li Mi killed the famous Sui general Zhang Xutuo in this battle and won a decisive victory.

Zhang Xutuo is the most powerful general in the Sui Dynasty today. He has wiped out countless rebel armies. He is a veritable pillar of the Sui Dynasty.

In this battle, even Zhang Xutuo was killed.All of a sudden, the uprising of the heroes in the world intensified.

Once Zhang Xutuo died, the imperial court of the Sui Dynasty completely lost control of the Central Plains, and the Central Plains has since become a place where various rebels compete for the throne.

Just like this warrior who shed his last drop of blood for the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty later presented him as Dr. Jin Ziguanglu and Sheriff of Xingyang County. The final posthumous title was just a fifth-rank official.

This has made people in the world see it, how can they not feel chilled?

No one is willing to shed blood and sacrifice for the Great Sui anymore.

After that, the situation changed suddenly, and the reputation of Wagangzhai was in full swing.

In the past, Wagang Village was beaten by the Sui army and ran around, but now that they have won such a big victory, they are no longer afraid, and dare to confront the Sui army head-on.

In this battle, Wagangzhai showed courage and courage.

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

Zhai Rang even asked Li Mi, who had made great contributions, to build an army alone, so that his commander-in-chief deployed a self-contained system, called "Pushan Public Camp".

Since then, Li Mi's reputation has risen to a higher level, attracting many followers, which also provided great help for him to win the power of Wagangzhai later.

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

After all, others speak lightly, even if they know many things, it is difficult to change the result even if they say it.

That being the case, it would be better to find a way to strengthen one's own strength first.

Zhao Mingyuan believes that as long as he is not deliberately sent to death, he will definitely grow after going through several battles.

In fact, Zhao Mingyuan now has only 2000 old, weak, sick and disabled.Naturally, no one would ask him to take charge of any important work.

Isn't that blatantly asking him to die?
Even if someone really hated him, it would be impossible to arrange such an obvious murder mission.

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

There are many teams surrounding the main force like this, and Zhao Mingyuan's 2000 people are just one of them.

In fact, Zhao Mingyuan's 2000 people were not so much an army, they were actually just auxiliary soldiers, and no one had high hopes for them at all.

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

In Zhang Xutuo's eyes, only the tens of thousands of young men under Zhai Rang's command in Wagang Village can be regarded as an army, so he may not take it seriously.

With only [-] Sui troops, Zhang Xutuo dared to face Wagangzhai's tens of thousands of troops.Even, Zhang Xutuo firmly believed that he would be able to win again as before.

Zhao Mingyuan's unit is located in front of the main force, although there is some danger, as long as it doesn't hit the main force of the Sui army, it doesn't matter.

After all, they were mainly responsible for vigilance and investigation. Even if they encountered a large group of Sui troops, they just had to report the news and run away.

Nobody really expected them to stand up to the main force, or even give that order.Because everyone knows that orders that cannot be fulfilled are for nothing, and it will destabilize the morale of the army.

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

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

Zhao Mingyuan led his troops to move forward, and now he was getting closer and closer to Xingyang. Sui troops might appear at any time, so Zhao Mingyuan naturally had to be careful.

After all, although he will not be in any danger and no one can keep him, the soldiers under him may not.

Zhao Mingyuan heard a voice in the distance, and made a cautious order.Immediately, the messengers around him waved their flags, and within three breaths, the entire army fell silent from near to far.

Zhao Mingyuan nodded in satisfaction. It seems that the training camp has worked out well.

The voice in the distance became clearer and clearer. Not only Zhao Mingyuan, but also other soldiers gradually heard it clearly. It was a troop of cavalry galloping forward.It sounds like there are more than a hundred cavalry.

Everyone looked at Zhao Mingyuan, to fight or not to fight?
Zhao Mingyuan also had some headaches. Cavalry had always had a crushing advantage over infantry. They could often fight five against one, or even ten against one.

What's more, most of Zhao Mingyuan's soldiers were old, weak, sick and disabled, and he was afraid that they would be pierced by these hundreds of cavalry at once. As long as they charged back and forth a few times, they might be killed and dispersed.

Fortunately, this place is in the woodland, although the woods are sparse, not so dense.But apart from the opened road in the middle, the woods next to it are really not suitable for cavalry fighting, and there is still a fight.

After thinking about it, Zhao Mingyuan still decided to fight.

After all, the morale is high, if you see the enemy but are afraid to fight, then the morale will definitely drop.I'm afraid they will shrink back when they encounter the enemy again, and dare not confront the enemy.

Zhao Mingyuan thought to himself, at worst, he cheated and showed his martial arts on stage.

After all, almost every high-level person in Wagang Village has good martial arts skills.If Zhao Mingyuan didn't show some martial arts, he would be looked down upon instead.

Although Zhao Mingyuan never said that he doesn't know martial arts, people mostly judge people by their appearance, seeing how young he is, no one has ever thought how advanced his martial arts are.

That being the case, it's good to show off.Of course, there is no need to use all your strength. At Zhao Mingyuan's age, as long as he is a natural master, he will definitely not be underestimated.

Now that the decision was made, Zhao Mingyuan sent an order to make everyone lie in ambush on both sides of the road, obey the order, and prepare for an ambush.

The order was passed on immediately.Soon, everyone hid on both sides of the road, their eyes eager to try, ready to fight.

After all, Zhao Mingyuan's continuous encouragement for such a long time has made everyone's blood boil, and they wished to fight the Sui army earlier, but unfortunately they never had the chance.

Now, it's hard to get an opportunity, and everyone naturally doesn't want to miss it.

Soon, there was a rush of hoofbeats.

But Zhao Mingyuan immediately realized something was wrong. Hearing the sound, it seemed that there were only five or six horses. This was a small team, and they should be looking for horses.

Naturally, Zhao Mingyuan would not attack and let them pass.

Fortunately, everyone hid well, and the explorers galloped past, but they didn't find them.

After a while, only two riders turned around.Should have reported back.

Zhao Mingyuan found that this team was strictly disciplined. Although it was only a team of more than a hundred people, the rules were extremely strict during the march.

Obviously, this team must be an elite team, they may have bumped into a big fish by mistake, and they don't know who the leading general of this cavalry team is.

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

In the Central Plains, there have always been few cavalry.Although Zhang Xutuo was a famous general in the Sui Dynasty, he repeatedly wiped out the rebels from all walks of life, but in fact he was not liked by Yang Guang.

Therefore, there are not many cavalry under his command, perhaps only a thousand cavalry in total.Coupled with the need to scout horses to pass the news, the actual cavalry is estimated to be only a few hundred.

And there are more than a hundred riders here, I'm afraid they must be Zhang Xutuo's confidant and favorite general, and they must have some skills.

For a moment, Zhao Mingyuan regretted that he had underestimated the enemy recklessly, maybe it would be better to let them go like this.

But the arrow is on the string, and it has to be fired.

It would have been fine if he hadn't given the order just now. Now that he was ready to ambush and saw the enemy right in front of him, it would be even more disappointing to let the enemy leave.Just leave Wagangzhai, don't go this way.

Zhao Mingyuan thought this way, and soon there was another sound of horseshoes.

Hearing the sound, Zhao Mingyuan immediately judged that there were more than a hundred riders coming, and the speed was not fast. It should be the cavalry team coming.

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

Zhao Mingyuan looked at the soldiers and horses of the Sui army approaching in the distance.

I saw a person in full body armor, with a yellow puma on his crotch, looking majestic, he should be their leader.

Just looking at this person's temperament, he definitely doesn't look like the captain of a hundred-man team. It seems that Zhao Mingyuan really met a big fish.

The speed of the opponent's horse is not fast, but it is getting closer and closer, and they are about to step into the encirclement of Zhao Mingyuan and the others.

But Zhao Mingyuan suddenly saw that the leading general suddenly frowned, raised one hand upwards as if to stop the team, and stretched the other hand towards the saddle.

It was discovered!

Zhao Mingyuan understood immediately.

Before he had time to think about it, Zhao Mingyuan yelled, "Follow me!"

As he spoke, he immediately led the crowd to rush over.

The courage of the soldiers, all the soldiers saw Zhao Mingyuan rushing forward without hesitation, so they rushed out from the forest on both sides of the road with shouts.

In an instant, they blocked the way of the Sui army and surrounded them.
