Soon, the invited battalions came one after another, because the Shooting Collapse Sky is also considered to be powerful in this coalition army, with nearly 10,000 horses under his command, and the Shooting Collapse Heaven rebellion is relatively early, and he also has some qualifications, so he can't help but give face. [Full text reading. 】

These people all took their own soldiers, and when they arrived outside the tent, the soldiers were invited into another tent to eat and drink, and a few palm plates entered the big tent, and found that there was no banquet in the tent, but there were two people sitting, one was shooting the sky, and the other was a strange scholar, and they couldn't help but be stunned.

Shooting the sky smiled slightly: "Everyone, let me introduce to you, this is my childhood friend, and now he is the secret envoy of Lord Xiong Wencan." ”

When these people heard Xiong Wencan's words, they were shocked, and before they could react, dozens of knife and axe hands poured in outside the tent, pressing these palms and plates to the ground.

Someone is shouting: "Shoot the sky, you want to surrender the officers and soldiers......"

Shooting the sky sneered: "I'm sorry, I'm going to borrow your heads, thinking it's a success!" ”

These people scolded one after another, and as soon as they shot into the sky, they waved their hands, and the swords and axes fell to the ground, and several heads rolled to the ground.

At this time, the soldiers who were in charge of the plates were also killed by the swordsmen and axes, and the corpses were all thrown into a big pit.

After killing these people, he ordered that he had surrendered his officers and troops and was ready to attack these battalions at night.

Although there are not too many people and horses who shoot the sky, they have followed him for a long time, and they obey the words of the sky, and they are dead. Moreover, in the past few days, the negative mood of shooting the sky has gradually infected the army, and these people are also discouraged about the future of the rebellion, and many people have already begun to think of surrendering. At this time, as soon as the sky collapsed and it was announced, there was immediately thunderous cheers.

Gu Tong saw that the army's heart was uplifted, and he said to the sky: "General, don't miss the opportunity." ”

The order was immediately given when the sky collapsed, and the whole army started and rushed straight towards the peasant army.

At this time, the peasant army, where did they think that the shooting of the sky would suddenly turn back and kill their own people, everyone was caught off guard, and the men and horses who shot the sky broke through the camp and killed corpses all over the field.

Guo Tianxing and the others heard the commotion, ran out to take a look, not far away from the peasant barracks, the smoke rose into the sky, and the sound of killing was everywhere, they couldn't imagine that it was the collapse of the sky and the haunting, thinking that it was the official army killing, and the direction was not the people and horses in Luoyang, but it seemed that Hong Chengchou had arrived.

At this moment, Guo Tianxing and the others were surprised, where did they dare to resist the enemy, and hurriedly ordered their men to pull out the camp and set up the village, they did not dare to go in the direction of Luoyang again, but turned around and went north.

Guo Tianxing and the others are the main force of this peasant army, as soon as they run, the rest of the people have no fighting spirit, and they also follow Guo Tianxing and others, a coalition army of 70,000 or 80,000 people was actually shot into the sky and the army was in chaos, and fled in embarrassment.

In the middle of the night, when he saw that the peasant army had fled, he didn't dare to chase after him, let alone stay, for fear that Li Zicheng would arrive behind, so he packed up his men and horses, took all the treasures and grains that could be taken away, and went south to Xiong Wencan.

Guo Tianxing and others ran all night, until the next day when it was dawn, then they stopped their feet, at this time, there were defeated soldiers who had retreated and fled back, and told Guo Tianxing and others about shooting the sky and water.

As a result, the peasant army was even more demoralized, and what was even worse was that everyone did not believe in others.

Among these people, some people also want to surrender to the official army, but they are afraid that others will see it and kill themselves, while some people do not want to surrender the official army, but they are afraid that the people around them will kill themselves if they surrender to the official army.

As a result, everyone in the peasant army alliance was suspicious of each other, each with his own thoughts, and no one believed in anyone anymore.

In less than three days, the combined forces of the peasant army dispersed and no longer acted together. became a lone army.

And Li Zicheng also heard about this, and he hated it so much that he scolded and shot the sky, but at this time, the peasant army coalition no longer existed, and he became a lone army, and after a big battle, there were only more than 20,000 people left, and Hong Chengchou was still chasing after him.

At this time, Hong Chengchou also heard the news, although he didn't like Xiong Wencan, and he didn't like Yang Sichang, but he was still very interested in his mind to be able to surrender and shoot the sky, and what was more beneficial was that the peasant army coalition had dispersed, and his current rival was only Li Zicheng's 20,000 horses.

So Hong Chengchou gave a death order, and he must catch up with Li Zicheng.

He personally led Zuo Liangyu and Cao Bianjiao, plus his own cavalry, a total of 10,000 cavalry, sleepless, closely chasing, and finally caught up with Li Zicheng on the third day.

Hong Chengchou's morale was booming, while Li Zicheng's peasant army was demoralized, so in three battles in a row, Li Zicheng lost his troops and lost all three battles, and most of the men and horses were lost, leaving only about 5,000 people.

He led a group of generals, with these 5,000 men and horses, and finally got rid of Hong Chengchou's pursuit and fled into the Songshan area.

Hong Chengchou led the army into Dengfeng, and at the same time reported the victory. He knew that as long as Li Zicheng did not die, he would definitely come out to make trouble in the world, so he sent a large number of spies into the mountains to find out the traces of Li Zicheng's horses.

After Li Zicheng led the men and horses into Songshan, there was no movement for the time being, just resting the sergeants and recuperating in order to make a comeback.

When Hong Chengchou heard the news, he sent men and horses to guard various important roads, in case Li Zicheng suddenly came out of the mountain and caught himself off guard.

After Li Zicheng entered the mountain, on the one hand, he rested his men and horses, and on the other hand, he also sent people out of the mountain to inquire about the news of several other peasant armies.

However, although there was a lot of news, none of it was favorable.

The first thing I heard was about Liu Guoneng, who ran to Huguang after being defeated with Lao Huihui, and after supporting him there for a period of time, he finally couldn't resist the encirclement and suppression of the official army and surrendered Xiong Wencan.

The recruitment of Liu Guoneng is a great credit to Xiong Wencan. He played the court overnight and attributed this credit to Yang Sichang.

Chongzhen was very happy when he saw the text, and rewarded Yang Sichang and Xiong Wencan.

Xiong Wencan made a series of moves to break through the sky and shoot the sky, and his reputation was greatly enhanced. He did not break his promise, and recommended the two as chief military officers, and the court immediately issued a decree to canonize them, and also issued a heavy reward, which made the other peasant army leaders very jealous.

Then, there was the news of Zhang Xianzhong's surrender.

After Liu Guoneng surrendered to the official army, Zhang Xianzhong was greatly surprised, because in this way, his situation was dangerous, so Zhang Xianzhong immediately wrote a letter to Xiong Wencan, expressing his willingness to surrender to the court, change his past, change his mind, and be a good citizen.

Xiong Wencan wished that Zhang Xianzhong could be submitted, and when he received the letter, he was so happy that he slapped the table, and immediately agreed, and personally went to Zhang Xianzhong's camp to surrender.

As soon as Zhang Xianzhong was appeased, the rest of Luo Rucai, Lao Huihui, Ge Liyan and others were also appeased.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, there was no surrendered peasant army, and only Li Zicheng remained. And there are only a few thousand of his men and horses left, huddled in the Songshan Mountain, surviving for a long time, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before he perishes.

As a result, the general trend of the world, the Jiao Zhan of the internal disputes in the world, all concentrated in Xi'an, where the Qin army, which was fighting desperately against Sun Chuanting, became the mainstay of the world's righteous army.

The success or failure of the Qin army is related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty, so Chongzhen issued an order and ordered Sun Chuanting to take Xi'an and annihilate the Qin army, so that no one can slip through the net.

However, at this time, Sun Chuanting was having a headache.

His headache is not a disease, but an annoyance, and what annoys him is that he is elusive, and he is extremely ruthless.

For a month in a row, Bai Qi led thousands of cavalry, like an army of dark demons in the night, coming and going, unpredictable.

First of all, he sent to the trilateral area, ready to intercept Bai Qi's men and horses, waited for a long time, did not wait for Bai Qi's soldiers, Sun Chuanting had to order them back, at this time came the news, Huayin was lost, was Bai Qi in the night sneak attack succeeded, most of the three thousand men and horses were annihilated, and Bai Qi's methods were cruel, and even captured 700 people alive together with the wounded, not one left, all killed.

After getting the news of the loss of Huayin, Sun Chuanting immediately felt that something was wrong, because Huayin was too close to Tongguan, in case Bai Qi took advantage of the victory and captured Tongguan again, and led Li Zicheng and others outside the pass into the pass, it would be difficult to clean up. So he immediately sent Gao Jie with 3,000 men and horses to reinforce Tongguan, and at the same time he sent He Renlong with 10,000 men to recover Huayin.

When He Renlong arrived at Huayin, he found that Bai Qi had withdrawn, and he had collected all the money and grain in the city. And after Gao Jie, who was sent to Tongguan, he didn't see Bai Qi attacking Tongguan.

Bai Qi disappeared without a trace overnight.

However, within two days, Hu Dawei, who had rushed back from three sides, sent an urgent report, saying that he had been attacked by a cavalry on the way, and had lost more than 1,000 men and horses.

Needless to say, this is another good thing to do for nothing.

For a while, Sun Chuanting was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was no way. Because since he besieged Xi'an, Huayin and Tongguan had to send men and horses to defend them, and the more places he guarded, the more scattered his troops became, and the more opportunities Bai Qi had to take advantage of.

In order not to let Bai Qi succeed, Sun Chuanting had to continue to ask the court to increase troops.

Chongzhen was also ruthless and desperate to reinforce Guanzhong.

Yang Sichang felt a little bad at this time, and he entered the palace alone to see Chongzhen.

Chongzhen immediately summoned, Yang Sichang saw Chongzhen, first praised it, saying that he had succeeded in appeasing the thieves in recent days, and it was all thanks to the blessings and graces of the saints, and Chongzhen was very happy to hear it.

Then Yang Sichang changed his words and talked about the situation in Guanzhong: "Your Majesty, I recently heard that Governor Sun is suppressing thieves in Guanzhong, and he has to add troops to the court. ”

Chongzhen nodded: "Yes, Sun Chuanting has besieged Xi'an for more than two months, but Xi'an City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in order to avoid too many casualties, Sun Chuanting besieged and did not fight, because he wanted to trap the thieves in the city, and it was also a foolproof plan." ”

Yang Sichang shook his head lightly: "As far as the minister knows, the thieves in Xi'an City are only 20,000 horses, and at this time, Governor Sun already has 80,000 people, which is more than enough to deal with 20,000 people." I don't think there's any need for more troops. ”

Chongzhen frowned: "That being the case, why does he want to increase his troops in Guanzhong?" ”

Yang Sichang pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, there is a sentence that the minister doesn't know whether to say or not." ”
