Chapter 281, Life and Death Tribulation 2

He wants all the soldiers to see this banner and see him. At this last moment, nothing is useful, and the only thing that can be relied on is the determination and faith of the commander. [No pop-ups. 】

On the other side, Gao Yingxiang also did the same thing, he ordered his banner to be raised high, blew all the horns, beat all the war drums, smashed the pot and sold iron, broke the cauldron and shipwreck, and must break through the last line of defense of the official army.

At this time, Hao Shaoqi didn't know where to rush, because there were still many shouts in the distance, Huang Long replaced Hao Shaoqi's role, he killed red eyes, the weather in October was already very cold, but he took off his shirt, went into battle shirtless, carried an iron axe, and rushed to the official army.

When the peasant army rushed up, the officers and soldiers no longer spared bullets, and fired a single round of bullets, and Huang Long was shot in the cheek, almost killed on the spot, and was carried back.

Several of the most capable generals fell one after another, or disappeared, the front of the peasant army began to float, and the people's hearts began to collapse, Gao Yingxiang knew very well that the consequence of this was that the whole army would be dispersed, and in the end the whole army would inevitably be destroyed, so he gritted his teeth and began to personally lead the charge of the team.

In the battle the day before, Gao Yingxiang was injured in the lower abdomen, and the injury was very serious, but he strictly ordered his soldiers not to spread it, but just let people bandage the wound and wrap it with a thick cloth to prevent blood from seeping out.

As soon as the peasant army saw that King Gao Chuang was so heroic, their morale was greatly boosted, and they immediately followed him to pounce wildly, and Sun Chuanting's men and horses began to be a little unbearable, and at this time, the disadvantage in the number of officers and soldiers began to appear.

Sun Chuanting knew that with such a hard top, in the end, his men and horses would suffer heavy losses, and he would not be able to resist the opponent's pounce, and at that time, the whole army would be scattered, maybe it would be himself.

So he ordered the army to withdraw a gap and let Gao Yingxiang lead the people to rush out.

As soon as this order was given, Shen Zhou was anxious, he ran to Sun Chuanting and shouted: "My lord, seeing that the thief is about to be captured, at this time, why did you order him to be let go?" ”

Sun Chuanting glanced at him coldly: "The military order is like a mountain, and those who violate it will be cut off and retreat." ”

Shen Zhou looked at Sun Chuanting's face as resolute as a rock, and didn't dare to say any more, so he had to retreat, order his men and horses, withdraw a gap, and let the peasant army rush out.

On the side of the peasant army, when they saw that the camp of the official army was broken, they were very excited, and they immediately rushed here, and the pro-soldiers also rushed out to protect Gao Yingxiang.

When most of the peasant army's ranks rushed over, Sun Chuanting gave the order to close the mouth. So the officers and soldiers rushed to kill and firmly tied the gap.

At this time, there were two or three thousand peasant troops trapped in the valley, and these people saw that the official army was tens of thousands of horses, and sealed the valley road, and Gao Yingxiang had already rushed out, and immediately had no desire to fight, and along the valley road, they broke and scattered behind, and fled all over the valley.

Shen Zhou wanted to chase and kill, but Sun Chuanting ordered to leave these people alone and chase Gao Yingxiang in the back. Only then did Shen Zhou understand that Sun Chuanting did not want to let go of Yingxiang, but to change his strategy and change interception to pursuit.

You must know that if you intercept the enemy, you will be killed by the enemy, but the pursuit is not, the enemy will definitely not turn back to fight to the death in order to escape quickly, so it is much easier to chase and kill. Besides, there is one most important one, the mountain road of Heishuiyu, which is not easy to walk, and Gao Yingxiang can't escape quickly.

Sun Chuanting thought well, since the peasant army rushed out of the encirclement of the official army, one by one they were flying like flying, running desperately, and Gao Yingxiang was seriously injured and had no way to run, his own soldiers carried him, and Huanglong Liu Zhe was on both sides to protect and walk along the valley road.

Before he could get out of the ten mile road, the officers and soldiers behind him chased after him.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang ordered the rear army to stop, desperately trying to block the official army.

But at this time, his order was unexpectedly not carried out.

In the past few days, the peasant army has been desperately rushing and killing again and again, and in the face of Sun Chuanting's officers and troops, most of them have no fighting spirit, and they rushed out at this time, and no one wants to go back to fight hard.

As long as the officers and soldiers do not chase after them, the knife cannot cut them, and they will never stop, and they will flee, escape, escape......

Inside the valley, there were scattered peasant troops, and from time to time there were screams from behind, that is, the backward peasant army was chased by the officers and soldiers, slashed and stabbed, and killed on the spot. After the screams were heard, the people in front ran faster.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang's situation is becoming more and more critical.

He had almost fallen into a coma, bleeding profusely, his lips were scorched, and he was delirious.

Liu Zhe took a look, running like this, it was not a way, under the violent bumps, the last bit of Gao Yingxiang's blood would be drained, fortunately at this time, it was almost dark, and there was a little cold fog in the valley, he looked ahead, and saw that the valley road in front was much more spacious, and there were many natural caves on the mountains on both sides of the valley road.

So he discussed with Huang Longyi, so he had to go into the cave to hide, wait for Sun Chuanting's men and horses, and then sneak out of the valley.

Huang Long also knew that if he continued to run at this time, Gao Yingxiang's life would not be guaranteed, so he could only hide first. So they took advantage of the mist and took a dozen personal soldiers to escort Gao Yingxiang into a cave.

Sun Chuanting was still leading the army to chase after him, Shen Zhou saw that it was getting late, and asked for a stop, but Sun Chuanting categorically refused: "At this time, you can only go all out, not give up halfway, and order the army, do not capture Gao Yingxiang alive, and never stop the army." ”

The officers and soldiers were chasing and killing, and they were all able to kill, while killing the peasant army, they were robbing the property of these people, and their excitement was very high, and they didn't plan to stop, as soon as they heard the military order, they said that Gao Yingxiang was in front, how could they not catch it, everyone shouted, and continued to chase and kill.

The thirty-mile mountain road in Heishuiyu became the dead-end road of the peasant army.

Along the way, there were dead people and dead horses, swords, guns and banners were thrown all over the valley, except for a small part of the peasant army, about 4,000 people finally rushed out of the Meridian Valley, most of the rest were killed, and a few Gao Yingxiang's generals saw that it was not good, and surrendered Sun Chuanting on the spot.

In this battle, Sun Chuanting completely defeated Gao Yingxiang's army of 50,000, but the most important problem was that Gao Yingxiang was not caught in the chaos, and his body was not found.

Sun Chuanting chased him all the way to the end of Heishuiyu, and watched a small group of peasant troops set foot on the flat ground and flee far away, he concluded that Gao Yingxiang was not among them, so he interrogated the captives, many of whom said that they did not follow when they saw their own soldiers carrying King Gao Chuang behind them. Sun Chuanting understood that Gao Yingxiang had been injured, and it seemed that he had not escaped from the valley, but hid in the valley.

So he gave the order to search along the valley, dig three feet into the ground, and capture Gao Yingxiangsheng alive.

After a day of searching, the officers and soldiers finally found the cave where Gao Yingxiang was hiding, and more than a dozen personal soldiers resisted desperately, all of them were killed, Liu Zhe and Huanglong were both injured and captured together with Gao Yingxiang.

When the officers and soldiers carried the captured Gao Yingxiang out of the cave and came to Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting breathed a long sigh of relief, he looked at Gao Yingxiang, who was almost dying on the stretcher, sneered softly, and ordered his subordinates: "Treat him well, don't let him die." ”

Shen Zhou said on the side: "My lord, it seems that the thief is about to die, such a person, do you still need to bother, in my opinion, if you are killed on the spot, won't the head of the capital master become?" ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head: "You must not be beheaded on the spot, no matter if you are alive, I will also send the living to the saint." ”

Shen Zhou frowned: "You want to sacrifice the prisoner to make the Holy Lord happy." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "In the past few years, the thieves have been arrogant, very arrogant, led by thieves, rampant all over the world, killing countless people, and even destroying the ancestral tomb of the saint. Passing on the head of the Beijing Division, it is inevitably too cheap to break into the thief. I will let the Holy One see the living, so that the Holy One will surely send a decree to put the thieves to death in the capital. This is a great boost to the morale of the officers and soldiers. And for the thieves, it is a huge deterrent. ”

Shen Zhou didn't say anything.

Sun Chuanting wiped out Gao Yingxiang's army, and immediately issued an order that the whole army should follow the road and withdraw from the valley to prevent the Qin army from attacking.

He knew very well that the official army at this time was already at the end of the crossbow, and it could not withstand the impact of any horse, not to mention the fierce and abnormal Qin army, where he was, it was not too far from Xi'an, once the Qin army got the news, it would definitely send heavy troops to rescue Gao Yingxiang, and it was already a blessing that he could eat Gao Yingxiang's men and horses. As for the Qin army, as long as the peasant army is suppressed, the Qin army will not be able to support it for long.

So the officers and soldiers of the brigade escorted Gao Yingxiang and went south out of the valley, and met Fan Ju halfway through, at this time he had already received Sudan, and when he saw Sun Chuanting capture Gao Yingxiang and annihilate the peasant army, he kept congratulating him.

Sun Chuanting was not complacent, he asked Su Dan to reply to Ziyi, saying that he had destroyed Gao Yingxiang, thank him for this good plan, and he will repay it in the future.

Su Dan got some rewards, took his followers, and went to Huayin.

This news shocked the world, Sun Chuanting was not famous before, and not many people in the official army and peasant army knew about him, but after this battle, Sun Chuanting became famous all over the world.

Emperor Chongzhen received Sun Chuanting's report, and he couldn't believe it for a while, he never expected that Sun Chuanting would annihilate Gao Yingxiang's 50,000 horses with 20,000 or 30,000 people, and also capture Gao Yingxiangsheng alive to sacrifice prisoners. He even sent a eunuch to Sun Chuanting to see if it was the truth. When an urgent report came back, he said that Gao Yingxiang had indeed been captured, and Chongzhen believed it.

He was overjoyed and rewarded Sun Chuanting. Chongzhen named Sun Chuanting as the governor of Shaanxi and held military power. Because at this time, most of Shaanxi was occupied by the Qin army, so Sun Chuanting, the governor, was a bit nominal and substantial, but it can also be seen that Chongzhen attached great importance to Shaanxi, and the next plan was to let Sun Chuanting recapture Xi'an and exterminate the Qin army.
