At this moment, a group of men and horses suddenly rushed out from the rear of the Ming army, without a uniform, but with a strict formation and well-trained. With lightning speed, he entered the Ming army.

This group of people came very suddenly, don't explain the army, even the Qin army who was fighting, didn't understand what was going on, Li Dang watched while fighting, and suddenly saw a person in command, and the figure was very familiar.

White up!

When Li Dare looked more closely, he saw Ziyi, and now Ziyi was overjoyed and shouted: "The general has arrived, the general has arrived, and ...... has arrived."

The Qin army under his command also saw Bai Qi one after another, and the cry moved the sky for a while, and their morale was greatly boosted. On the contrary, the Ming army had been flanked from front to back and out of formation.

Bai Qi was hidden in Huashan, and Li Yan and they occupied Huayin, and he soon knew about it, so he led the army out to converge, but he didn't expect to encounter this big battle. It's a coincidence.

Shi Kefa knew that the current battle could not be fought any further, and if it continued to be fought, he, a guerrilla general, would become a bare-bones general.

He gave the order to withdraw his troops and retreat westward.

The rear began to glow, and the Ming army retreated like a tide.

And Li Dang led the Qin army and pursued closely.

In addition to the rapid withdrawal of the cavalry of the Ming army, the infantry was chased and beaten by the Qin army, and the casualties continued to increase. Shi Kefa knew that this retreat was likely to turn into a rout, so he led the guards and personally broke the rear. His guards fired rows of crossbow arrows at the Qin army, which slowed down as they blocked and attacked. After the Ming army fell a piece of corpse, it finally withdrew far away.

In addition to defeating the Ming army, the Qin army also got more than a dozen trebuchets and rushing carts, and it can be said that all the siege equipment brought by Shi Kefa was thrown under Huayin City.

The joy on the battlefield shook the sky, and the Qin army could finally vent the evil anger in his heart.

At this time, in the hearts of every Qin army, there was a sense of reverence for their new commander Li Yan, and the Qin people fought wars, not looking at the seniority and age of the generals, but only looking at the results. If you win, you are a good general.

Li Dang ordered all the catapults and carts to be burned, and then cleaned up the battlefield, embraced Bai Qiziyi and Fan Ju, and pulled the swords, spears, tents, tents, and food discarded by the Ming army back to the city.

Li Yan had already instructed the camp to reward the three armies and let everyone eat and drink well, on the other hand, he recruited the people in the city and began to build the city wall.

The city wall in the west of Huayin has been seriously damaged, if you don't arrange a surprise soldier and burn the trebuchet, then most of the people who are rewarding the three armies in the city are the Ming army.

Li Yan understood that the next attack of the Ming army might come soon. Therefore, he must seize the time to prepare for war, so the Qin army repaired the city while deepening the moat, and at the same time set up more cast iron furnaces in the city to build weapons and arrows, and also sent people to raise grain and grass, and strive to greatly strengthen Huayin City before Hong Chengchou's elite soldiers returned to Shaanxi.

The reason why the Qin army wanted to stick to Huayin, in large part, was to find the king of Qin. People don't walk without heads, birds don't fly without heads, as long as King Qin is still alive, he will definitely be able to hear the news of Huayin, and if King Qin hears the news, he will definitely come.

Just wait for the king of Qin to return to the army, and it will not be too late for them to go to the four directions to attack the city and plunder the land.

Seeing Bai Qi and the others, Li Yan was also very excited, and he felt that his burden was much lighter. Everyone told each other about their situation, and they were all very happy, the only thing that was unhappy was that there was still no whereabouts of King Qin.

Not to mention the Qin army's intensified preparations, let's talk about the general Shi Kefa. He also held his breath, in fact, he didn't underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Qin army too much, and the preparations he made were enough, but he didn't expect that the enemy soldiers would come out of the city to sneak attack and destroy his siege weapon, so that he fell into passivity.

He counted his men and horses, and found that there were more than 1,000 casualties, fortunately, the cavalry did not have major losses, but now the army has no siege equipment, morale is low, and can no longer fight, Shi Kefa had to go back to Hong Chengchou to ask for guilt.

When he returned to Xi'an, he saw Hong Chengchou and told him about the matter, Hong Chengchou laughed, and did not blame him, but explained to him: "The general doesn't have to feel guilty, your battle is like a touchstone, and now we already know the details of the other party, this is the work." As for not taking Huayin City, you have too few men and horses, even if you attack it, the two sides will have a scuffle, and both sides will lose and lose, and you will not be able to take the city. I heard that when you retreated, you personally led the guards to the rear of the palace, and you did not mess up in the face of danger, and behaved very well. ”

Shi Kefa was a little ashamed: "The general of the defeated army does not dare to speak bravely." ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head: "Where, where is the defeated army, it is not like a victorious army, it can retreat with its whole body, it is more difficult than a big victory." You already have the qualities of a famous player, what you lack is just an opportunity. Go down and rest, I have another way to deal with this group of Qin troops. ”

Shi Kefa confessed and left the house.

At this time, Sun Chuanting walked out of the inner hall, he walked very slowly, because the injuries on his body had not healed, and if he walked fast, he would pull the injury, in fact, this kind of serious injury is not suitable for walking on the ground, but Sun Chuanting's temper is not below those fierce generals, as long as he can walk, he will never lie on the bed.

He came behind Hong Chengchou and asked, "Lord Hong, why don't you cure this person's sin?" Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly: "It's very simple, because Shaanxi at this time is very empty, and the reserve army led by him is the last mobile force, I heard that Shi Kezhi's army is very strict, and he loves soldiers like sons, and the prestige in the reserve army is not low. Besides, this person fought bravely and had some strategy, this defeat was just the result of being in battle for the first time and not thinking about it, and it would naturally be good to fight a few more battles in the future. ”

Sun Chuanting nodded: "What my lord thinks." ”

Hong Chengchou paced a few steps in the hall, his brows furrowed. Sun Chuanting said: "The adults are thinking about Huayin...... Hong Chengchou nodded: "This anti-thief is not simple, after the defeat, it will soon recover, and it will be unexpected to reoccupy Huayin." Now that they have defeated the reserve army, could it be said that they are really the Qin army that has been resurrected in the world? ”

Sun Chuanting naturally didn't believe it: "The gods that I boast about are amazing, but this is also a good way to confuse the public." But in the final analysis, it is better to extinguish it as soon as possible. Shaanxi has just settled down, and if this anti-thief force is not eliminated, the situation of pacification is likely to be seriously bad again. ”

Hong Chengchou said: "But right now, the court has no troops to send in Shaanxi. ”

Sun Chuanting smiled and bowed his hand to Hong Chengchou: "If the adults look up to Sun, they are willing to share their worries for the court." Hong Chengchou asked, "What is the method of dividing worries?" Sun Chuanting said: "As long as the adults can give me an order, let me recruit troops, within March, Sun will definitely be able to bring out an elite army, if I lose the battle at that time, I should die to thank the world." ”

Hong Chengchou was a little embarrassed: "It is necessary to pay for recruiting soldiers, but at the moment, you and I know that you and I can't take out a tael of silver." It is better to have no soldiers than to have no soldiers. There is no chaos without soldiers, but if you bring a group of soldiers who can't get paid, it's like a person with a group of tigers and wolves, once something happens, I can't protect you. ”

Sun Chuanting smiled: "This, adults can rest assured." Since I dare to recruit soldiers, I have a way to find military salaries, and I don't ask the court for a penny. ”

Hong Chengchou looked at Sun Chuanting in front of him, still a little suspicious.

Since he saw Sun Chuanting for the first time, Hong Chengchou realized that this person would become a great weapon in the future, so he did not fill Sun Chuanting's official vacancy to the court, but just kept him by his side and used him as a strategist. The contact these days has made him even more sure of his vision. Sun Chuanting is definitely a handsome talent. Needless to say, just say that he used a carriage to disperse the pursuers and successfully escaped, which shows the depth of this man's scheming.

And now, it's time to employ people.

Once the Qin army recovers, Shaanxi will be chaotic, and he, the governor, will not be able to sit still. It's better to let Sun Chuanting give it a try, at least he won't lose anything.
