With the assault of the firecrackers, the Qin army began to wear C ferociously, and the firecrackers tore the formation of the Great Western Army to pieces, many people were injured or killed, and the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, which made the Great Western Army dizzy, and finally could not stop the onslaught of the Qin army, the formation was chaotic, and was rushed into it by many forces of the Qin army, the city was not wide, the people and horses on both sides were mixed together, and it was difficult to even turn around in some places, the soldiers simply threw away the knives and guns in their hands, you punched me and kicked me, rolled into a ball. [No pop-ups. 】

The Great Western Army was a little overwhelmed by the onslaught of the Qin army, the casualties were getting bigger and bigger, the more people rushed up behind the Qin army, the more openings were torn, and almost all the narrow city heads were occupied by the Qin army, and the Great Western Army had been pressed to the horse road.

Zhao Jie fought with his life, fought to the death and did not retreat, led the Great Western Army to guard the horse road, and did not let the Qin army rush to the city, he knew that if the Qin army went down the city and opened the city gate, the Qin army outside would come in, and Mianzhu would definitely be lost.

As long as the city gates are not opened, the Qin army may come in from outside the wall, and it will not form a force like a flood peak.

But he overestimated his soldiers.

If it was before, when Zhang Xianzhong was still the Eight Kings, in this case, the sergeants would break their heads and hit the golden bell, even if they didn't want their lives, they had to change the heads of a few enemies. This is also the reason why Zhang Xianzhong's army has always been the main force in the peasant army. The combat effectiveness of his subordinates has always been the first-class in the peasant army, second only to Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng, and is one rank higher than others.

But now it's different.

Since Zhang Xianzhong was proclaimed emperor in Chengdu, all the generals under his command have also been promoted to official positions, become generals, Sichuan is in their hands, there is no war, everyone began to pay attention to enjoyment, except for those ordinary soldiers, most of the generals began to ask for land, rob houses, grab land, grab women, and the combat effectiveness of the army has declined very quickly.

The decline in combat effectiveness is not that the soldiers dare not work hard, but that the generals do not work hard. They began to spare their lives, and they began to have concerns. Because in Chengdu, there is their money, land and beautiful women.

As long as the battle is slightly lost, the generals will first think of their own property and women, if they die in battle, won't these things be cheaper for others? Therefore, the generals will flee first.

As soon as the generals leave, who of the soldiers will still die? The flag is down and the troops are scattered, this reason could not be simpler.

This was the case with the Great Western Army at this time.

Although Zhang Xianzhong supervised the battle under the city, most of his generals did not regard him as the emperor, or the former eight kings, since the peasant army rebelled, there was no decent hierarchy in each team, everyone was called brother and brother, even among Li Zicheng's people, it was also like this. Li Zicheng conquered Beijing and ascended the throne as emperor, but many of his generals ignored his will and did nothing in the city. When Li Zicheng taught them, these people were still arrogant, saying that you have become the emperor and don't let your brothers be happy?

Even Li Zicheng's army is like this, let alone others.

Most of Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates also have this kind of mentality, you have become the emperor, we also have to eat and drink spicy, the current battle situation is unfavorable, and we can't withstand the onslaught of the Qin army, so it's important to save your life first. So these generals began to panic, and some began to retreat.

Everyone huddles together, and when one person escapes, the people around him see it, and it will immediately lead a piece. Therefore, the Great Western Army began to flee off the road in pieces and into the city.

Zhang Xianzhong could see clearly below, his men and horses began to panic, began to run, and began to collapse, he knew the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, but he didn't expect that his people were vulnerable. Zhang Xianzhong cursed repeatedly, and ordered his own personal soldiers to step forward, carry a big knife, and behead those who fled.

Hundreds of people from the Overseer team poured under the horse road and shouted to stop the deserters, but no one paid attention to them and continued to flee. The Warlords swung their broadswords and cut off dozens of heads in a row, but their actions immediately aroused the wrath of the deserters.

There was a fierce Qin army behind him, and in front of him was the big sword of the war team, and these soldiers of the Great Western Army didn't think about it, so they waved their weapons at themselves.

How can a team of hundreds of people withstand the impact of thousands of people, and as soon as the flow of people passes, they are immediately swept away without a trace. When Zhang Xianzhong saw it, he was so angry that he couldn't help it.

At this time, Zhao Jie ran to him and shouted: "Your Majesty, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, let's withdraw, abandon Mianzhu, and go back to Chengdu......"

Zhang Xianzhong naturally understood this, his cunning and ferocity were the same, and without the slightest hesitation at this time, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the south gate with his own soldiers.

Since you can't beat it, you can't hold it, so let's run, at least you can't become a prisoner of others.

Zhang Xianzhong ran to the south gate and ordered the city to be opened, as soon as the city gate opened, he rushed out with three thousand cavalry like a gust of wind, no longer caring about the people and horses behind him, and fled towards Chengdu in a smoke.

As soon as the emperor left, the generals and soldiers naturally refused to lag behind, and they all poured out of the south gate and fled to Chengdu to take care of their family business.

Bai Qi and Li Kang didn't expect that this battle would end so quickly. Bai Qi had estimated before the war that although he could capture the city with his own clever tricks, it would take at least a day to completely capture Mianzhu, and his own men and horses, even with deaths and wounds, would have at least tens of thousands of people.

After all, Zhang Xianzhong is iron-hearted and wants to defend Mianzhu.

Unexpectedly, it took less than two hours for the Qin army to completely defeat the Great Western Army, and Zhang Xianzhong did not have any power to fight back, and fled all the way back to Chengdu. Even Bai Qi was stunned by this victory, so that he was afraid that this was Zhang Xianzhong's strategy, so he sent countless probe horses, and probed around Mianzhu for a long time, making sure that there was no ambush, and the Great Western Army had indeed fled back to Chengdu, so he was relieved.

After the war, the Qin army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and the casualties of the Great Western Army were almost equal to their own, and more than 2,000 were captured, and Zhang Xianzhong took 20,000 people and retreated to Chengdu.

Just when Bai Qi and Li Dang were rejoicing at the victory in this battle, several Qin soldiers came over with a corpse and released the corpse in front of the two horses. One of the flag officers at the head reported to Bai Qi: "Report to the general, we found this person in the pile of dead people in the city. ”

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, and when he looked at the corpse, it was not his own person, but he was wearing the clothes of the general of the Great Western Army, so he asked, "Who is this person?" Do you recognize? ”

Li Dang jumped off the horse, took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood on the corpse's face, lowered his head to take a closer look, and couldn't help but be shocked.
