Stepping on a small boat, Song Shidao hurried north from the Grand Canal toward Xingyang.
Along the way, he heard news from the north from time to time about Wagang's attack on Xingyang.
Tile Gang was unstoppable near Xingyang, and it looked like they were about to break through Xingyang and take down Luokoucang.
Once he obtained Luokou Cang, then the power of Wa Gang would be so great that no one could suppress it. Therefore, when he learned of this news, the Sui Emperor, who was drunk in Jiangdu, suddenly woke up.
Although his heart was in despair now, he still had a certain sense of responsibility for this country. He could not sit idly by and watch the Central Plains sink.
Therefore, Yang Guang immediately ordered Zhang Xutuo, the last pillar of the Great Sui Dynasty, to lead 20,000 troops to resist the Wa Gang.
Zhang Xutuo was a veteran in suppressing peasant movements, and Wagang Zhai Rang had tasted the bitter fruit of failure at his hands. Therefore, neither Yang Guang nor Zhang Xutuo took the suppression of Wagang seriously.
Zhang Xutuo had led an army of twenty thousand to Xingyang, but he was not facing the mediocre and incompetent Di Rang, but the cunning Li Mi!
When Song Shidao turned from Han ditch to Tongji canal, he heard that Wa Gang and Zhang Xutuo were already fighting.
By the time he reached Xingyang along the Tongji Canal, Wa Gang and Zhang Xutuo had already started fighting near Dahai Temple.
Song Shidao could already see troops of well-equipped Sui soldiers and groups of disorganized, ragged, malnourished peasant soldiers by the Tongji Canal.
Song Shidao learned from these peasant soldiers that Zhang Xutuo had defeated Di Rang and was in hot pursuit.
All the peasant soldiers looked anxious, and all the Sui soldiers looked excited and restless.
Seeing this, Song Shidao sighed and thought,""Looks like Zhang Xutuo has fallen for Li Mi's arrogant tactics. After Wa Gang conquered Luo Kou Cang, his rise is inevitable!”
"Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, these two good generals should be kept in our hands in advance!”Song Shidao thought. He leaped up and disappeared like a beam of light.
On the vast plains south of Dahai Temple, golden drums shook the sky, flags were everywhere, and the sound of killing shook the wilderness. Zhang Xutuo's army formed a square formation and charged towards the hundreds of thousands of troops in front of them.
Di Rang's Tile Gang Army had already been scared out of their wits by Zhang Xutuo's army. A large number of soldiers had fled, and although there were more than a hundred thousand of them, they were still in a state of panic.
The Tile Garrison Army did not have a formation. Dozens of generals led their own deployment and did not care about their cooperation. They all charged forward in one go.
Zhang Xutuo's army ignored the surrounding Tile Mound Army. They only had one target, and that was Di Rang's central army.
Based on Zhang Xutuo's past experience in attacking the peasant army, as long as he could cripple the central army, no matter how many people there were, the Revolutionary Army would scatter.
The 100,000-strong army of Wa Gang could not even break the formation of Zhang Xutuo's 20,000-strong army.
From this, it could be seen how weak the Revolutionary Army was. No wonder Zhang Xutuo was able to defeat hundreds of thousands of soldiers with just ten to twenty thousand soldiers.
Amidst the sounds of battle, all obstructions on the way to the middle army of the Sui army were shattered.
This Sui army was like a sharp awl, advancing unwaveringly in the Wa Gang Army.
The Wagang Revolutionary Army was cut down like straws. Facing the elite Sui army, they had no ability to resist at all.
When they were about to reach the middle of the army, Zhang Xutuo's formation changed again.
Two cavalrymen of three thousand each charged out from the left and right flanks of the square formation.
These cavalrymen were extremely elite. Their bodies were emitting a terrifying killing intent. They were connected into a formation. Even a grandmaster would have to suffer here!
Their bodies were covered in armor, and the arrows shot by the Tile Garrison Army made a clanging sound when they landed on their bodies. They were unable to even break through the armor and were directly bounced off.
The pitch-black iron mask covered his face, leaving only two pitch-black holes, from which two cold lights shot out.
Every knight's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty ferocity. This was a cavalry that had won every battle!
They had seen this kind of battle countless times. From the south to the north, this cavalry had been through hundreds of battles. The battle in front of them was just a small scene to them!
A mere Revolutionary Army could be defeated in an instant!
With a loud boom, the two cavalrymen pierced into the Wa Gang Army like sharp swords. Like a torrent meeting a huge rock, the Wa Gang Army was immediately split into pieces.
The target of these two cavalrymen was precisely the middle army of the Wa Gang Army.
Di Rang led 50,000 troops to resist the onslaught of Zhang Xutuo's army. This was the only unit of the Wagang Army that could fight.
The rest of the 100,000 soldiers that had rushed out did not have much combat strength at all. In just a short while, nearly 10,000 people had been killed by the Sui army and scattered!
