Running in front was Liu Zongmin, who withdrew with tens of thousands of peasant troops, and behind them, torches lit up the sky and the earth, and countless officers and soldiers rushed over with shouts. [Full text reading. 】

In the fierce battle, Sun Chuanting suddenly found that Li Zicheng led the main force to return, and the direction of the peasant army camp was full of fire, so he knew that Gao Jie and Zuo Guangxian had succeeded, and he immediately sent a deputy general back to his camp and asked Zuo Liangyu to send troops to help in the battle.

Sun Chuanting did not expect that Zuo Liangyu had already killed the men and horses of the Fifth Battalion of the Peasant Army, and he was content to accept his wishes, and Zuo Liangyu could send 20,000 or 30,000 horses. Unexpectedly, the deputy general who went back came to the camp to see that the peasant army had retreated, and this deputy general was also very clever, so he changed Sun Chuanting's general order to let Zuo Liangyu send troops to help the battle, and changed it to transfer Zuo Liangyu to attack.

When Zuo Liangyu heard that Sun Chuanting was coming to transfer him, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reorganized the army out of the camp, he left Hui Dengxiang with 20,000 horses to guard the camp, and he personally led more than 50,000 people to come to reinforcements.

Sun Chuanting saw that Zuo Liangyu had brought a large group of men and horses, and heard that the fifth battalion of Ge Zuo had been killed, he was very happy, and praised Zuo Liangyu in public, and then he did not stop for a moment, personally commanded Zuo Liangyu, Cao Bianjiao and other generals, and launched a fierce attack on Liu Zongmin's 30,000 horses.

Liu Zongmin saw that the situation was not good, the official army had already sent a large group of men and horses to reinforce, and he could not fight any longer, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Sun Chuanting issued an order that in order to complete his work in one battle, Li Zicheng must be completely defeated tonight. So the officers and soldiers chased after him.

When he was chasing, He Renlong completed the feint mission, and was leading the men and horses to withdraw to the camp, and met Sun Chuanting halfway, so the two sides joined forces, and Sun Chuanting's men and horses soared to 10,000 people, like a mountain and a tsunami, rushing to the peasant army camp.

Li Zicheng saw that Liu Zongmin was defeated and retreated, and a sea of officers and troops poured up from behind, and he immediately felt the threat of Mount Tai's overwhelming, and he immediately ordered his men to step forward immediately to assist Liu Zongmin in guarding the camp gate, and he must resist the attack of the official army.

But at this time, the peasant army recruited too many new soldiers finally revealed, if these people are all veterans of a hundred battles, they will definitely be able to turn back to face the battle, fight with all their might, coupled with Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others are brave and good at fighting, I believe that they can block the onslaught of the official army. But the recruits are not like the veterans, they have won the battle, they can't lose the battle, when they gain power, the momentum is fierce, the morale is high, but if the situation on the battlefield is unfavorable, these people are immediately lost.

Many recruits looked at the officers and soldiers behind them as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, staring at the red eyeballs, killing as if they were not going to die, and they were so frightened that their souls flew away, and they still heard the military orders, and they had no time to take care of others, so they ran away, forming countless streams of people, so that together with the veterans who were ready to resist, they were also wrapped in it, and they couldn't help but retreat backwards.

As the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain, and no one can control it. By this time, the soldiers no longer obeyed the general's orders, and no matter how famous the general was, he could not command well.

Fortunately, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others have gone through too many such scenes, and they can cope with it easily. Seeing that the soldiers could no longer control it, the camp was completely on fire and could not be extinguished, and at this time, it was impossible to put out the fire.

So the two of them each gave the order for the whole battalion to retreat and go south.

Gao Jie and Zuo Guang saw that Sun Chuanting led people to kill them, and they didn't run away, but turned back to fight. So more than 100,000 officers and horses, chasing more than 100,000 people from Li Luo's coalition army, came south together.

Li Zicheng thought hard about countermeasures while running, he knew very well in his heart that Sun Chuanting was a person who killed everything, as long as he couldn't kill himself, he would never stop chasing and killing.

You can't just give up and run away, you have to make a surprise move and turn defeat into victory.

Although Li Zicheng has only been in private school for a few days and has little knowledge, since Song Xiance came to the army, the two of them often sit down and talk.

Song Xiance once told him that the end of the Ming Dynasty at this time was very similar to the end of the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, although there were only two large rebel armies, Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao, the court had lost its control over the local area at that time. Song Xiance told Li Zicheng in detail about the success or failure of Huangchao, and Li Zicheng was deeply shocked.

The current situation is similar to the battle in which Huang Chao was defeated, after Huang Chao took Chang'an, he was counterattacked by the Tang army and withdrew from Chang'an, and then he gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and began to besiege Chenzhou, known as the Great Battle of Chenzhou, just like Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng today.

As a result, Huangchao besieged Chenzhou Buke, and was defeated by the Tang Dynasty reinforcements, and then Huangchao fled again and again, and the Tang army pursued relentlessly, and finally Huangchao was defeated again and again, and finally all the rebels left, and died in the wolf and tiger valley.

Today, Sun Chuanting is also like the Tang army at that time, Li Zicheng understands that if he only cares about escaping, the official army will also chase after him until his men and horses are annihilated or scattered, and then it will be his own death.

Therefore, this battle must not be lost.

At this time, Song Xiance rushed to his side and also suggested to him: "King Chuang, we can't be defeated like this, we must fight, otherwise the general trend will go ......"

Li Zicheng nodded: "But the defeat is like a mountain, I can't control it, how to face the battle,"

Song Xiance said: "The soldiers fled and couldn't control it, because the officers and soldiers were chasing too quickly, as long as they could stop the pursuers, they could regroup their men and horses and establish a camp." ”

Li Zicheng said: "But all the soldiers are fleeing, and it is impossible to organize people and horses to assemble and fight......

Luo Rucai said on the side: "This is not difficult, you can throw gold and silver property on the road as bait, although Sun Chuanting is very strict in governing the army, but as far as I know, Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong's subordinates are very greedy for money, as long as they stop and grab the property, we can take a breath." ”

Li Zicheng frowned: "But the assets of our army are all in the camp, and they are burned to the ground, and when the soldiers are withdrawn, they only care about running for their lives, and they will not take them with them......"

Luo Rucai smiled: "The people who broke into the king didn't bring treasures, but my people carried them." Li Zicheng smiled secretly in his heart: "Cao Cao, when is this, don't you forget to tell the people to bring these ......"

Song Xiance said: "Luo Shuai must still have a lot ......of beauties with the army, it's better to leave them all together" Luo Rucai shook his head again and again: "The gold beads and beautiful jade can be lost, and the beauties are never lost, because the gold is easy to get, and the beauties are hard to find......"

Li Zicheng couldn't help laughing: "Okay, hurry up and pass the order......

Luo Rucai immediately ordered the army to throw away all the gold, silver and jewelry he was carrying, and he should not be stingy. If someone dares to hide a piece of gold, he will be killed.

As soon as this order was given, Luo Rucai's men and horses were immediately in a hurry, full of jokes. Some people emptied their pockets, some took off their shirts, and some even unbuttoned their trousers and shook off the gold and silver hidden inside. What's more, there are people who pretend to be wounded soldiers and put bandages around their bodies, and at this time the bandages are untied, and there are also jewels and other items inside.

Luo Rucai tens of thousands of horses, such a toss, like hail, gold beads rolling, silver pieces everywhere, as well as fine silk and jewelry, the whole road immediately became the Avenue of Stars.

The peasants, soldiers, and horses fled, and the officers and soldiers behind chased after them, and when they saw that the ground was full of gold, they didn't know what it was, and they took a closer look with torches, and immediately their eyes widened.

The front army of the official army is naturally cavalry, and these people look at the jewels all over the ground, dazzling flowers, where can they still care about chasing and killing the fleeing enemy. Because there are rules in the official army, if you kill a head, you will be rewarded with one or two taels of silver, and it is these two pieces of silver that make the officers and soldiers compete for heads, and some people can only save their lives when they fight a battle. As for the bounty for the head, most of them were taken by the chief. Officers and soldiers often harbor grudges and resentment.

At this time, when I saw the gold and silver treasures all over the ground, it was simply falling from the sky, how could I not be tempted, so one by one they all restrained their horses, jumped off the ground, and fought for the treasures on the earth.

The men and horses behind them rushed up and began to curse loudly for some reason, but when they saw that the ground was full of gold and silver, they also red-eyed, joined the crowd, and coaxed together. At this time, the order of the official army had begun to be chaotic, and many people began to act for money.

Because there was too much gold and silver discarded on the ground, more and more people joined the scramble, and the main road was blocked early, and the people behind rushed up and looted together, and the whole road was in chaos.

Sun Chuanting caught up behind him, and saw that the front army was very chaotic, so he hurriedly ordered the Chinese army to investigate, and waited for the Chinese army to report that when the peasant army broke and fled, it had left countless treasures, and the officers and soldiers were fighting for it at this time. Sun Chuanting immediately felt bad, when he was fighting like this, the formation was chaotic, and people had no fighting spirit, in case the peasant army returned to kill, it was really impossible to resist.

He immediately ordered to send the superintendent team forward, and ordered the front army to immediately stop fighting for property, immediately reorganize the army, and continue the pursuit.

There are hundreds of people in the supervision team, one by one carrying a ghost-headed big knife, rushing forward and shouting orders, but at this time, the eyes of the officers and soldiers are all staring at the ground, and they don't raise their heads, no matter who you are, even if Sun Chuanting is in person, I am afraid that I can't stop drinking.

So the overseer team also had red eyes, picked up the big knife, and chopped it all indiscriminately, cutting down more than a dozen officers and soldiers in front of them to the ground.

Not only did it not frighten others, but it also caused public outrage. These soldiers were already obsessed with money and eager to grab money, and there was no room for anyone to stop them, so some soldiers simply waved their weapons and fought against the warlords.

The entire front army was in a mess, with tens of thousands of people huddled together, and it was no longer in a formation at all.

At this time, I heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of me, and the officers and soldiers looked up and saw that Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's peasant army had come back to kill.

It turned out that after Luo Rucai ordered his subordinates to throw away the gold and silver property, the peasant army ran out for a while, and sure enough, there were no more officers and soldiers chasing after them. Li Zicheng immediately ordered all the soldiers to stop and not to run again.
