Tian Jianxiu could see it clearly, and his heart was overjoyed, because Sun Chuanting at this time had already entered the S journey within a stone's throw away. [Full text reading. Tian Jianxiu hurriedly ordered the soldiers around him: "Find a few good archery." ”

Four or five archers on the arrow tower replied together: "The villain can do his arrow." ”

Tian Jianxiu said: "Okay, aim at Sun Chuanting for me, shoot arrows together, and you must kill him." ”

Several archers each bent their bows and arrows, looked at Sun Chuanting, and drew their bows to the fullest. Tian Jianxiu's hand was raised in the air, and he didn't fall for a while, he had to wait until there were fewer people around Sun Chuanting and there was enough time to send S.

Sure enough, as the officers and soldiers rushed forward, Sun Chuanting's front was empty, and no one stood in front of him, Tian Jianxiu waved his hand fiercely: "S!" ”

Several archers loosened their bowstrings at the same time, and several wolf-tooth arrows flew out like meteors catching the moon, one of which was on Sun Chuanting's helmet, and the other three arrows were in Sun Chuanting's chest.

Sun Chuanting screamed on the horse, and his body fell backwards, but fortunately, someone behind him supported him, so he did not fall off the horse.

However, when the officers and soldiers saw that the commander was hit by an arrow, they were immediately frightened and stopped the offensive.

More than a dozen soldiers hugged Sun Chuanting, supported him on his horse, and ran backwards. Tens of thousands of horses retreated like a tidal wave.

As soon as the officers and troops retreated, several adjutant generals immediately came to see Tian Jianxiu, and said one after another: "General, Sun Chuanting was hit by an arrow, and the officers and troops were defeated, let's chase it." ”

Tian Jianxiuyi frowned: "But the order given to us by King Chuang is not allowed to go out of the camp to fight with the official army." ”

A lieutenant general shouted: "That also depends on the situation, we were not sure to defeat Sun Chuanting before, so we did not fight, at this time Sun Chuanting was hit by an arrow, I don't know whether he is dead or alive, I want to say, even if he is alive, he can't ride a horse, let's rush over, catch that guy in the chaos, and dedicate it to King Chuang, his old man must be happy." ”

Tian Jianxiu still shook his head: "No, Sun Chuanting used troops to deceive, in case this is a plan, he found someone to pretend to be himself, and he was injured by S before the battle, leading us out of the camp, and then setting up an ambush, so what should I do?" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone was silent, and they looked at each other one by one.

Tian Jianxiu's words make sense, Sun Chuanting is powerful, everyone knows that for many days, the peasant army has not been out of the camp to fight, and Sun Chuanting does not dare to move to Zhili, in this case, Sun Chuanting is very likely to come up with this method, in case of a plan, he will not be able to explain when he sees Li Zicheng in the future.

Therefore, everyone looked at Tian Jianxiu and listened to his idea, Tian Jianxiu thought for a while: "Let's not send troops first, order the spies, carefully observe the movements of the official army camp, and report as soon as there is a situation." ”

The military order was like a mountain, and someone immediately passed the order to go, and Tian Jianxiu and others returned to the big tent and waited for the news attentively.

As a result, in the afternoon, a spy came to report: "General, the official army camp is like a great enemy, I looked from a distance above the valley, and I saw that the soldiers in the camp were moving frequently, and the strength of the front battalion had increased a lot. ”

Tian Jianxiu listened and looked at the lieutenant generals around him: "This is good news." ”

One lieutenant asked, "Why?" Tian Jianxiu said: "If the person who came is a fake Sun Chuanting, and the real Sun Chuanting must not be injured, there will be no change in the official army camp, but if Sun Chuanting is really injured, he must be afraid that we will take the opportunity to kill him, so he is strictly guarded." ”

When it got dark, another spy came to report: "General, the lights in the official camp are bright, but it is unusually quiet, and there used to be some noisy soldiers who patrolled the night, but now they can't hear it." ”

Tian Jianxiu said with a smile: "Very good, it seems that Sun Chuanting is really injured and needs to recuperate, so noise is forbidden in the camp." ”

After a night, the next morning, another spy hurriedly came: "General, the officers and soldiers have retreated." ”

Tian Jianxiu was taken aback: "Retreated?" Where to retreat? Has the whole battalion withdrawn? ”

The spy said, "Exactly, the whole battalion retreated, retreating to the north. Tian Jianxiu said: "Is there anything unusual in the army? The spy shook his head: "No anomalies found. ”

As he was talking, another spy came running and reported to Tian Jianxiu: "General, the villain followed the official army for ten miles from afar, and saw a white flag in the middle of the army, and the cry shook the sky. ”

The adjutant generals on both sides were overjoyed when they heard this: "General Tian, the white flag is set up in the army, it is the death of the commander, let's chase it, if we don't chase it, it will be too late." ”

Tian Jian Xiuyi waved his hand: "Don't be busy, in case this is a plan......"

The lieutenants said one after another: "What else is there to do!" Sun Chuanting is dead, even if he is Zhuge Liang, we are not Sima Yi, are you still afraid of a dead person? ”

Tian Jianxiu was still hesitating, and the deputy general Liu Tichun came over and said in a low voice: "Brother Tian, we can't help but chase, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers retreat to the north, it must be led by Wang Qiaonian, this person has some means, in case he motivates the soldiers in the army, and then suddenly enters Zhili, goes to defend Beijing, and breaks into the king's side, but there is some trouble." ”

As soon as he heard this, Tian Jianxiu immediately realized: "Yes, our task is to strand these seventy or eighty thousand officers and soldiers in Shanxi, and we must not let them enter Zhili, you are right, Wang Qiaonian is very likely to change his route to Zhili, so that he can also make up for the sin of this defeat, so as not to blame Chongzhen." ”

Tian Jianxiu immediately ordered, with Liu Tichun as the striker, and he supervised the battle in the rear, and began to pursue.

Liu Tichun led 5,000 cavalry, rushed out of the camp like a gust of wind, and chased after him. Tian Jianxiu did not take all the men and horses out, but left 50,000 horses to guard the camp, and then led 200,000 horses and horses to chase after him.

Rao is like this, Tian Jianxiu was still afraid of being deceived, and ordered Liu Tichun not to leave the brigade too far, so as not to be ambushed, and to let the scouts report every twenty miles.

In this way of using soldiers, Tian Jianxiu's caution can be seen.

After chasing for a long time, Tian Jianxiu received a report from Liu Tichun, they had already handed over hands with the official army, this is the palace of the official army, but the army has no heart to fight, and it will be defeated in a battle, Liu Tichun did not care about these routs, but rushed forward violently, he wanted to kill the official army and snatch Sun Chuanting's coffin.

Although Sun Chuanting is dead, he can't be cheapened, how can he not revenge the revenge of killing Gao Yingxiang. Liu Tichun was ready to cut off his head and send it to King Chuang.

When Tian Jianxiu heard the news, he also urged the army, accelerated forward, and responded to Liu Tichun.

After chasing for a while, seeing that it was already dusk, all of a sudden, Tian Jianxiu heard the shout in front of him to kill Zhentian, he was taken aback, for fear that Liu Tichun would suffer a loss, and immediately ordered all the cavalry in the army to rush over with him first.

By the time Tian Jianxiu arrived at the front with about 20,000 cavalry, the situation in front of him was already very critical.

I saw that Liu Tichun led 5,000 men and horses were surrounded in a valley, there were tens of thousands of officers and troops around, and they were desperately attacking, Liu Tichun's men and horses were squeezed in the middle, the terrain was narrow, and the conflict could not be opened, so they had to rush to the battle, and the men and horses lost a lot, and above the valley, there were also official archers in ambush, and they couldn't stop releasing arrows to the besieged peasant army.

Tian Jianxiu saw that Liu Tichun was surrounded, and immediately roared, led the men and horses to rush up, fought with the officials and soldiers, and finally took Liu Tichun out.

There are not too many officers and troops besieging here, there are only more than 30,000 people, after Tian Jianxiu and Liu Tichun fought out of the valley, they took a breath, Liu Tichun was ready to kill again, but Tian Jianxiu waved his hand: "It's getting dark, we are not familiar with the terrain here, we can't take risks, let's wait first, and wait for the team to arrive, and then pay attention." ”

At this time, the sky was completely dark, the two were talking, suddenly heard a series of trumpets sounding around, and then the fire was bright, countless torches were lit on the surrounding valleys, a few miles in front of them, on the top of the hill, a few large fires were lit, with the rising flames, there was a team of fine horsemen were placed there, one of them was nearly a foot tall, holding a large flag in his hand, and the fire could be seen clearly, and the flag was a "Sun" word.

And its white horse sits upright, with a golden helmet and golden armor, which is very dazzling in the firelight.

This person looked at the mountain not far away, and laughed at Tian Jianxiu and the others: "Listen to the thief, Ben Shuai is the Inspector Sun Chuanting, you have fallen for Ben Shuai's clever plan, do you still want to escape?" ”

When the peasant army heard this, they were all shocked, it turned out that Sun Chuanting was not dead, and really set up an ambush here.

Tian Jianxiu stomped his feet on the horse and said to Liu Tichun: "As expected, Sun Chuanting deceived us and deceived us into coming here." Liu Tichun gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be afraid of him, there are 200,000 horses behind us, no matter how powerful Sun Chuanting is, he can't eat us, and he has to break a few of his big teeth." Tian Jianxiu shook his head: "Since Sun Chuanting dares to set up an ambush here, he must not be afraid of our soldiers......

As soon as he said this, he heard the shouts behind him to kill Zhentian, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers came over.

Sun Chuanting and Wang Qiaonian had 80,000 troops under them, leaving 30,000 here to block Liu Tichun and Tian Jianxiu, and the other 50,000 people were ambushed behind, led by Wang Qiaonian.

Wang Qiaonian commanded the army, set fire to it everywhere, used to intimidate the peasant army, in the dark night, no one knew how many people and horses the official army had, where they were killed, only to see fire everywhere.

This place is all valleys, and the valley and valley are full of dry grass and dead wood, so the fire is together, and immediately the mountains and fields are burning, and the peasant army pursues from the south to the north, which is just at the downwind, so the flames together burn to the side of the peasant army.

As soon as Sun Chuanting saw the fire burning, he immediately ordered a fierce attack.

Although Tian Jianxiu and Liu Tichun brought cavalry and were not afraid of the impact of the enemy, these war horses could not stand the fire, and when they saw the fire coming, they all neighed away, and immediately did not form a formation.

Tian Jianxiu saw that it was not good, at this time he could no longer fight, and in order to save the men and horses, he could only withdraw the army, so he immediately ordered the whole army to return to the camp.
