Zhang Xianzhong naturally also understands that Qin Liangyu is already difficult to deal with, people have taken advantage of the time and place, trapped their own men and horses, and then come with reinforcements, if they don't break through again, their tens of thousands of horses are likely to be beaten to pieces. [Full text reading. So he rode up a high slope and looked around.

Several personal soldiers surrounded him, blocking the random arrows shot by the official army, Zhang Xianzhong looked to the right, only to see a village and town in the distance, he made up his mind, he immediately ran back to the army, ordered Sun Kewang to take 3,000 cavalry, rush to the right side, must rush away from the opposite officer, with the whole army out of the encirclement, into the distant village to rest.

Sun Kewang got the order, and immediately took his three thousand iron cavalry, all ironclad spears, and rushed to the right side, and the oncoming officers and soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to resist, Sun Kewang ordered, everyone must not fight, but just rush forward, as long as the person is still on the horse, it must not stagnate.

The three thousand iron horsemen were like a powerful arrow, piercing through the waves and cutting the camp of the officers and soldiers in half.

Zhang Xianzhong ordered all the horses to follow the three thousand iron horsemen, rush and kill, and be sure to kill a bloody way, after Li Dingguo broke off, block the officers and troops who surrounded them behind.

So Sun Kewang was in front, Li Dingguo was behind, and the two fierce generals protected the whole army and desperately rushed to kill.

Qin Liangyu's men and horses were in front, and Zeng Yu's men and horses were chasing and killing behind, but Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo were really powerful, the officers and soldiers rushed up and fell down, although many peasant soldiers were killed and wounded on the ground, but most of the men and horses still rushed unabated, and they were about to break out of the encirclement.

At this time, Qin Liangyu had already guessed Zhang Xianzhong's thoughts, she knew the truth that the trapped beast was still fighting, once Zhang Xianzhong was desperately surrounded, the peasant army had no way to retreat, and it might collapse, but it was also possible to fight to the death. In that case, it's really hard to say whether you will win or lose. One husband is desperate, ten husbands are difficult to beat, not to mention that Zhang Xianzhong has tens of thousands of horses, if these people are all desperate, the consequences are unimaginable. Therefore, Qin Liangyu ordered the men and horses to retreat, open an opening, and let Zhang Xianzhong rush out.

Qin Yiming got the general's order, he was puzzled for a while, but he didn't dare to disobey the order, so he had to give the order to do it, when Sun Kewang was rushing to kill, he suddenly saw the official army like a wave splitting, retreating to both sides, and a big road flashed in the middle, he was overjoyed, regardless of three seven twenty-one, he led the men and horses to rush out.

As soon as he rushed out, the peasant army brigade behind him also came out, and more than 20,000 men and horses broke through in the northwest direction like a flood that had opened a gap.

Qin Liangyu watched every move on the battlefield, and waited until almost all of Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses had rushed out, and then he gave the order to chase after him.

She used the strategy of opening the net, and it was much less laborious to chase and kill than to intercept and kill.

So the officers and soldiers of the two routes joined forces, shouted and shouted, and chased and killed them in the rear.

Tang Sai'er said to Zhang Xianzhong: "Marshal, the enemy soldiers are chasing and killing, the situation is not good, you need to turn back and resist." Zhang Xianzhong laughed: "It's okay, with Dingguo behind, we must be able to stabilize the corner, let's just move forward, after entering the village, then stick to the terrain, and then find a way." ”

Tang Sai'er nodded, and followed Zhang Xianzhong all the way to the villages and towns in the distance.

After Li Dingguo broke in the back, he personally took more than 100 archers, and kept shooting arrows backwards, these more than 100 people are archery masters in the whole army, and the archery is accurate, so it has a great deterrent effect on the officers and soldiers, as long as they rush a little closer, they will be hit by arrows and fall off their horses.

The officers and soldiers also continued to release arrows, and many people on both sides were killed by arrows.

Not long after, Zhang Xianzhong had already led his men to the front of that village, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that there were at least 100 houses in this village, which was a relatively large village.

At this time, because of the fighting between the two armies, the people of this village had already fled, and no one dared to stay in the village, so the whole village was empty.

Zhang Xianzhong sent his horses into the village, then blocked all exits, crossbowmen ambushed on the rooftops, and the infantry of the brigade with shield bearers and pikemen in front of the officers and soldiers, and the soldiers behind began to dig deep ditches and set up barriers, preparing to defend the place to the death.

After Li Dingguo led his men into the village, the officers and soldiers then rushed in, and the archers in ambush in the village immediately released their arrows and shot the officers and soldiers back.

Qin Liangyu led the army to the front, looked at the village, smiled coldly, and ordered the men and horses to surround the village, Zeng Yu also brought 20,000 horses, and Qin Liangyu joined forces, about 50,000, to surround the village.

Zeng Yu saw Qin Liangyu and asked, "How does General Qin want to attack, in my opinion, don't give the thief a chance to breathe, kill it immediately." ”

Qin Liangyu said: "Don't be in a hurry, at the moment our army is tired, the enemy army is relying on civilian houses to hold on, and the defense line has been strengthened, deep ditches and high bases, if our army attacks, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses." ”

Zeng Yu said: "Having said that, but our army is only twice the enemy's army, the art of war, ten are encircled, five are attacked, our army is far from ten times the thief, what if it can't be surrounded, what if he breaks through,"

Qin Liangyu sneered: "Zhang Xianzhong came alone, there was no foreign aid, and it was clear that he came to send him to death." It is best to trap him here, if he can't be trapped, Zhang Xianzhong breaks through and escapes, and our army is in hot pursuit, and he will definitely kill him without leaving a piece of armor. Therefore, whether it is encircled or fought, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely lose. Why worry,"

Zeng Yu nodded again and again: "The general is really knowledgeable, and the young general obeys the order." ”

So Qin Liangyu led 50,000 horses and horses to surround Zhang Xianzhong in this village called Shi Zhuangzi. The officers and troops also set up barracks and strengthened the defensive line to resist the peasant army breaking through.

Speaking of Zhang Xianzhong, he commanded the men and horses to block the attack of the officers and soldiers, and dug a long deep ditch around the village before nightfall, the ditch was one zhang deep and two zhang wide, leaving only the two exits in front of the village and behind the village, and sent heavy troops to defend it to prevent the officers and soldiers from rushing in.

Because the people of the village fled in a hurry, they did not have time to take away the food and other goods from their homes, and after nightfall, the peasant army began to rest, cook, and care for the wounded.

Zhang Xianzhong summoned all the important generals and went to the main hall of a large family in the village to discuss countermeasures. Some of the people were wounded, so they wrapped their wounds while talking about the battle.

Sun Kewang said: "Qin Liangyu has already surrounded us, I took a look, and found that the official army was also camping, digging a ditch around the camp, it seems that they want to trap our tens of thousands of horses." ”

Liu Wenxiu nodded: "Big brother is right, there is not much food with us at the moment, it can only last for ten days at most, even if there is some grain in the village, but more than 20,000 people and horses can't eat for a day." Therefore, we have to come up with a solution within 10 days. ”

Li Dingguo said: "There is no other way, only to break through." Otherwise, you will be trapped alive. Besides, once the camp of the official army is strengthened, it will cost huge casualties if you want to break through at that time, so I want to say, let's rush out early tomorrow morning. ”

His idea was approved by the majority.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at Tang Sai'er, who had been silent, and asked, "What did the military advisor say?"

Tang Sai'er frowned and muttered: "Breaking through is the next policy, absolutely not." Li Dingguo and the others were stunned, and Sun Kewang asked: "What do you mean by this, if you don't break through, do you have to sit and wait to be trapped by the official army?"

Others also chattered and discussed, and they all expressed doubts about Tang Sai'er's words.

Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand: "The military advisor must have her thoughts, don't mess around first." ”

Tang Sai'er waited until everyone was quiet, and then said slowly: "On the surface, it seems that breaking through the siege of the official army is the best choice, but everyone must understand that we entered Sichuan this time, and did not get the cooperation of the Qin army, it is considered a lone army, where can we go after the breakthrough, and once we break through, Qin Liangyu will definitely chase after the back, we tens of thousands of horses, chased by the official army all the way to escape, how far can we run, according to what I think, the last to escape must be some cavalry, and the infantry will definitely not be able to escape." In this way, we have suffered another big defeat. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and felt that Tang Sai'er was reasonable.

Tang Sai'er continued: "Originally, we entered Sichuan this time, and we saw the right time, on the one hand, the Qin army took Hanzhong, which greatly restrained the official army in Sichuan, so that the official army had to hoard heavy troops on the border of Hanzhong to prevent the Qin army from suddenly attacking. And Li Zicheng on the Central Plains side and Fan Ju on the Shandong side made a lot of trouble, and the world looked sideways, so we can take advantage of the situation. Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you can't defeat Qin Liangyu and capture Sichuan, I'm afraid there will be no second time in the future. Therefore, we cannot afford to lose this battle. That's why I said, breaking through and escaping is just a good idea. ”

Zhang Xianzhong slapped his thigh and shouted: "I heard it, the words of the military advisor are like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and they are simply refreshing, so my old Zhang doesn't want to leave like this, we and Qin Liangyu are old enemies, and they have been driven out by her twice before, as the saying goes, there are only three things, if you lose in her hands again this time, you will never step into the ground of Sichuan." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately expressed their attitudes: "What the big marshal said is that this time he will fight to the death with Qin Liangyu." ”

Zhang Xianzhong grinned: "Fight to the death, fight to the death, we have already lost a battle, and we are surrounded by others, so it is easy to take advantage of it, it is better for the military advisor to find a way." ”

Tang Sai'er smiled: "Well, there is a way, but it is a little difficult,"

Zhang Xianzhong listened to it and laughed: "No matter how difficult it is, it is difficult to die, as long as there is a way, we will go to heaven and earth, and we have to do it, as the saying goes, put it to death and then live, we are already in the place of death right now, there is nothing to be afraid of,"

Sun Kewang also said: "That's it, it's a big deal to die, are you still afraid that the loess won't bury people?"

Li Dingguo shouted: "Qin Liangyu is not easy to deal with, but we are not easy to mess with,"
