I saw in the distance, the people who were chasing Gao Yigong suddenly turned around and ran back.

"What's the situation?" When Song Xiance saw it, he couldn't help but wonder, and pointed to the distance and said, "I'm not mistaken, right?" ”

Yuan Zongdi, who was originally tired but happy, heard his words, looked up and looked at it, and his face immediately changed.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the pursuit battle north of Kaifeng.

"It can't be that there are still ambushes among the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, right?"

Although Yuan Zongdi reacted immediately and said this, he couldn't believe it.

If there is really an ambush among the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, then this routine is too deep!

When Song Xiance heard it, he immediately denied it: "How is it possible? If there is an ambush by the imperial court officials and soldiers, wouldn't they be able to count us, how is this possible! ”

I didn't want to admit it subconsciously, but as far as my eyes could see, more and more high-level people had appeared, and they were running backwards. Many of them even threw away their flags, and even lost their hands just to run faster.

Seeing this, two words burst out of Song Xiance's mind: throw away the armor and abandon the armor, and the army will not be defeated!

How is this possible?

Song Xiance was dumbfounded!

He cried out in his heart: No...... That's impossible......

On both sides of the road, the officials and soldiers of the imperial court who had not had time to escape and surrendered on their knees, because the thieves were chasing Tian Jianxiu's headquarters and did not dispose of them, jumped up again at this time and shouted loudly: "Kneel and surrender without killing!" ”

At this time, not only Yuan Zongdi and Song Xiance saw the abnormality in front of them, but their subordinates naturally also saw it, and they were guessing in horror there, and then they heard this shout, and they were dumbfounded.

In fact, the situation is already evident at this time. If Gao Yigong had been able to defeat the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, he would not have fled back so embarrassed at this time.

So what to do?

A thief leader saw that Yuan Zongdi and Song Xiance were right in front of him, so he hurriedly ran over and asked, "Do we still have an ambush?" ”

If there is an ambush, run again;

But if there is no ambush, it will be over!

"There's a ghost!" Yuan Zongdi replied angrily, and then didn't say a word, thirty-six plans, go first.

However, when he turned the horse's head and saw where Song Xiance was still stupid, he pulled his reins and said, "Hurry up, military advisor, let's go in the opposite direction!" ”

However, Song Xiance was a bit of a collapse. finally organized this counterattack, but it fell into the calculations of the imperial court officials and soldiers, could it be that he was really born at the wrong time? Or is it that Li Zicheng's qi is exhausted?

No, it's definitely not like that!

Song Xiance didn't want to admit it, and shouted to Yuan Zongdi a little frantically: "Don't think that if you say that you are going backwards, you are not running away!" What are you afraid of? Prepare to meet the enemy, the two armies of 50,000 horses, I don't believe that I can't defeat the imperial court's official army! ”

Tian Jianxiu's people and horses are less than 20,000. What if reinforcements come, can they surpass the two people here? As long as you don't retreat, this battle will not be lost!

Yuan Zongdi was shouted by him like this, and his face was a little ugly. I was really afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years, and I was really a little afraid of the court officials and soldiers!

Seeing Song Xiance glaring at him angrily, Yuan Zongdi immediately understood in his heart that if he didn't care about it and ran away like this, after going back, Song Xiance would definitely put the responsibility for this defeat on him.

And he has already been defeated once, if he is defeated again, and this battle is still a battle that the general has high hopes for, or if he is defeated because of himself......

Thinking of this, Yuan Zongdi didn't dare to think about it anymore. Seeing that his men had all followed his example and turned around and were about to run away, he immediately shouted: "Those who dare to escape, military law will be done!" ”

When his guards heard this, they roared along.

The men who heard it turned their heads to look at him, and for a moment they didn't dare to run.

The military order has been issued, and if you dare to run, it is not negotiable, and you will be beheaded.

In the end, Yuan Zongdi's troops either fled fifty paces or a hundred steps, but no one dared to laugh at anyone, they stopped one after another, and began to assemble with a little trepidation, ready to fight.

As soon as those court officials and soldiers saw that the situation was not good, they fled from the official road one after another, and did not dare to shout anymore.

Seeing this situation, Song Xiance's face finally looked a little better, and he didn't care about the court officials and soldiers who fled, and immediately loudly boosted morale and said: "Don't worry, all court officials and soldiers are paper tigers, as long as we are brave, we can still win this battle!" ”

"Yes, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!" Yuan Zongdi looked at his chaotic subordinates, and began to boost morale, "Brothers, don't be afraid, even if you lose......"

Originally, he wanted to say that even if he lost, he would surrender directly and would not have to worry about his life, so that his subordinates would not have to worry about the future! However, as soon as he said this, he noticed a gaze on him.

Without looking, Yuan Zongdi knew that it was the military advisor who was watching him, and in a hurry, he quickly changed his words: "...... At least we're heroes, and we'll be able to do it again in eighteen years! ”

Defeat again? Song Xiance was very dissatisfied when he heard this, but at this time, he didn't care about this kind of slip of the tongue, so he also continued to boost morale.

However, in this case, it is so easy to boost morale.

The vast majority of thieves are not stupid, they don't listen to what Yuan Zongdi and Song Xiance say, but look at Gao Yigong's troops who have fled back from a distance, and want to see how many court officials and soldiers are chasing behind them?

If it's less, then it's okay to assemble to fight; However, if there are too many, who is stupid!

………………

It's been a long time since Gao Yigong has fled so hastily! He was running away, and he found that Yuan Zongdi's men and horses in front of him were actually blocking the official road to assemble, this is still trying to die?

Looking at this scene, Gao Yigong wanted to kill Yuan Zongdi, this was blocking his way to escape!

Riding on a horse running at high speed, with fear, he turned his head to look behind him. The dust is flying, and all you can see are his subordinates, and you can't see the shadow of the court officials and soldiers.

However, Gao Yigong knew that the officials and soldiers of the imperial court would soon be able to catch up.

So, turning his head and weighing it in his heart, he didn't want to waste any energy, seeing that he was almost in front of Yuan Zongdi's assembled military formation, not only did he not slow down, but he also couldn't see the banner that Yuan Zongdi gave him, but took the reins and ran directly down the official road, preparing to bypass Yuan Zongdi's military formation and continue to run.

When Yuan Zong saw it for the first time, he was immediately a little angry: "This is a high merit, and his courage is too small, I will block it, he can gather in front of the formation!" ”

In this way, it is a good thing for Gao Yigong to engage the court officials and soldiers first.

However, Song Xiance did not agree, but said solemnly: "It is only right that you should really assemble around the formation, and you should prepare to meet the enemy first!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Gao Yigong's first escapers had already rushed to the vicinity, and they all followed Gao Yigong down the official road and continued to run, and while running, they kindly reminded him.

"Run, what are you doing standing stupidly?"

"There is still an ambush among the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, and we have been defeated!"

"There are so many imperial cavalry troops, it's too late if you don't escape!"

“……”

In the midst of these shouts of kind reminders, there are also some discordant voices.

"You are good, you are all heroes!"

"What are you shouting, let them take a wave, and we can escape!"

“……”

At this time, the sound on the battlefield was chaotic, and there were all kinds of sounds. These chaotic shouts may not be able to be heard clearly by many Yuan Zongdi's people. Eventually, however, some people can hear it.

Suddenly, they were already panicked, and they were in chaos again. Even those who were on the edge of the military formation, after hesitating, fled from the military formation, and escaped among the people and horses of Gao Yigong.

This kind of thing has a chain effect. If someone runs away and doesn't stop it, the people on the side will definitely follow.

Originally, this assembly was actually very reluctant. As a result, all of a sudden, the entire military array was facing collapse!

When Yuan Zong saw it for the first time, he didn't know why, but not only was he not angry, but he was relieved.

Only Song Xiance was furious, and immediately shouted to Yuan Zongdi: "What about the warlords, don't come forward quickly!" ”

Yuan Zongdi listened, and was about to answer when his eyes suddenly straightened.

When Song Xiance saw it, he knew that something was wrong, and quickly turned his head to look into the distance.

I saw that in the dust, behind Gao Yigong's fleeing army, the fiery red color was particularly dazzling.

What made Song Xiance even more desperate was that the pursuers of those court officials and soldiers turned out to be cavalry. Needless to say, with so many cavalry, it is definitely not Tian Jianxiu's headquarters! It's not good, it's all the main force of the imperial court that has arrived!

Doesn't it mean that the Duke of Xingguo has been rectifying the place in Chengdu, and he is also "chasing stolen goods and helping salaries" like a general? Why did it suddenly appear here when it hadn't moved?

Why?

At this moment, Song Xiance was really desperate. More and more imperial court cavalry appeared in the field of vision, it was obvious that the main force of the imperial court had arrived, how could this be fought?

"Surrender on your knees and don't kill ......"

In the distance, a shrill sound came, making the thieves' side even more chaotic.

This voice also made Song Xiance come back to his senses, seeing that Yuan Zongdi had already run away, and he didn't call him, suddenly, he couldn't care less while scolding, and slapped the horse's ass and ran away fiercely.

If they are like this, it is naturally impossible for those ordinary thieves to have a head iron.

Most of the thieves who had horses ran back desperately, but those thieves who didn't have horses were relieved to see the imperial cavalry chasing after them in dense numbers.

Forget it, I can't run anyway, and the policy of the imperial court is also known, so I won't run! If you are tired and can't run on four legs, why bother!

That's it, a war that has been brewing for a long time, originally thought to be a great victory, has come to an end so dramatically.
