Luo Li, Li Xuanzhu, Situ Liang, Li Dingguo, Shi Ran and other generals, at this time, each commanded their own generals, several people and horses marched together, first blocked the way for the official army to retreat to Yanggu County, and then began to encircle the official army in the area of the Jindi River, and Huang Shengqiang was angry and urged the artillery under his command to drive the mules and horses, dragging their heavy artillery and then rushed to help the battle, the artillery this kind of troops, although the power is huge, but in this kind of surprise war, it is still flawed, It is true that they can't maneuver faster than the other foot riders, so they can only stagger later, trying to come in handy when it is critical. (.. ）

And Sun Chuanting is not an incompetent person after all, although he was caught off guard by the Xingtian Army, but he did not completely lose his ground, he still mobilized as many people as possible, and laid out a defensive line in the back, plus he arranged 3,000 men and horses in advance, so he retarded the offensive of the Xingtian Army.

But then he learned the news that Wu Sangui on the south bank had also been defeated by the Xingtian Army, and was retreating with the whole army, fleeing to the Jindi River, and Sun Chuanting was basically panicked, Wu Sangui was on the south bank at the moment, and there were a large number of his soldiers and horses on the north bank, if Wu Sangui was defeated on the south bank of the Jindi River, then his proud soldiers and fierce generals would immediately lose their main generals and military hearts, and they would be scattered, and no one would think that they could command them.

So Sun Chuanting hurriedly ordered to send someone across the river to meet Wu Sangui, hoping to at least save Wu Sangui, in this way, Wu Sangui's main force is still there, then they still have the strength to fight, in short, he wants to save Wu Sangui's life, otherwise, this battle may be lost.

But now that the matter has come to this, Sun Chuanting is no longer capable of presiding over the overall situation, and the Xingtian Army, led by Situ Liang's two elite cavalry battalions, has already killed the officers and troops fortified in the back, and is like a bamboo.

Situ Liang's cavalry was not entangled with the surrounding officers and soldiers at all, and specially rushed towards the place where the officers and soldiers gathered, always maintaining a state of high-speed movement, like a sharp sword, inserted into the officers and soldiers, violently stirring, stirring up the already chaotic officers and troops even more, they under the leadership of Situ Liang, constantly cutting the officers and troops, and faithfully fulfilling the task given to them by Xiao Tianjian, that is, they must not let the officers and troops gather together, and require them to always maintain a state of movement, to cut the officers and soldiers, and to disrupt the officers and troops. making it impossible to organize an effective defense.

And Situ Liang did exactly do this, with his soldiers and horses in the official army formation to kill three in and three out, and finally the official army was sparsely stirred, and then the Xingtian army units, took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack on the official army, according to Xiao Tianjian and Li Xin's pre-war prediction, the Xingtian army on the north bank of the river was unified by Li Xuanzhu, Li Xuanzhu left the headquarters and other battalions of men and horses to fortify on the periphery of the official army, to prevent the official army from breaking through and escaping, and asked Luo Li and Li Dingguo and others to lead the troops as an assault force to carry out a centripetal assault on the officers and troops gathered on the bank of the Jindi RiverIn this way, it was like a few steel knives inserted into the army of the official army, and the officers and soldiers who were killed directly fled in the wilderness.

This battle was never killed from time to time, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers had nearly half of their troops divided by the Xingtian army, and a large number of officers and soldiers scattered and fled, but soon most of them were blocked back, and only a small number of officers and soldiers broke through the encirclement and escaped, but then they became bandits, and it was impossible to go back to serve the imperial court. So he simply lost the guy, knelt on the ground and announced his surrender, and the Xingtian army members who were quickly surrounded disarmed and taken away from the battlefield.

At this time, Wu Sangui was also driven to the river by Xiao Tianjian and Liu Yaoben, and a large number of officers and soldiers who had crossed the river saw that Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses were defeated and retreated, and they didn't even have time to organize defense, so they collapsed on the spot, stepped into the river in a chaotic manner, and tried to escape back to the north bank. It may even be possible to repel the men and horses led by Xiao Tianjian and Liu Yaoben, but Sun Chuanting handed over the affairs on the south bank to Wu Sangui, and as soon as Wu Sangui was defeated, the officers and soldiers who crossed the river were leaderless, and no one could control anyone, so they only cared about their own lives.

Although the Jindi River is now the dry season, some sections of the river water is very shallow, for people and horses to wade through, but after all, this is the old road of the Yellow River, there are many places in the river of different depths, some places can completely submerge people, or even deeper, when the officers and soldiers come to cross the river, they are exploring to cross the river, so there is no need to worry about falling into too deep water, now they are defeated, to escape the river, where can they find those shallow places to cross the river! One by one, the monkeys jumped into the river and waded towards the opposite bank, many officers and soldiers went deeper and deeper, and when they found that their feet could not reach the bottom of the river, it was already late, and there were few officers and soldiers in the north who had good water quality, and the drag of the armor on their bodies was heavy, many officers and soldiers shouted for help, and sank into the water with a bang, and many officers and soldiers struggled on the water when they were dying, and sank in a blink of an eye. Someone was unlucky and drowned in the river.

Xiao Tianjian also rushed up, led Liu Yaoben and other generals, and killed until the Jindi River, where two or three thousand officers and soldiers who had no time to escape the river announced their surrender on the spot, and were taken down by them, and four thousand men and horses were blocked on the south bank of the Jindi River.

And Wu Sangui was lucky at this time, he was not dragged by the routs and drowned in the Jindi River, and finally escaped from the Jindi River under the protection of the family members and returned to the north bank of the Jindi River.

At this time, the north bank of the Jindi River was already a mess, many officers and soldiers had broken down, and were divided by the Xingtian Army, either slaughtered on the spot, or surrendered to the Xingtian Army on their knees, and some people fled, after all, the Xingtian Army wanted to surround more than 40,000 officers and soldiers with more than 20,000 men and horses, and there were still many gaps in this net, so now the remaining officers and troops on the north bank of the Jindi River are less than 20,000 people.

And this is still under Sun Chuanting's desperate retraction, the strength of the army was saved, but the entire official army has been completely disrupted at this time, there are stragglers everywhere, many soldiers can no longer find the formation and their main generals, for the official army, this is the most terrible thing, they are in the old-style army, although there is dignity and humility, but few generals tell them that once they are scattered, they will obey the command of the officers who are higher than them, all the generals of the Ming army, They all treat their soldiers as their private property, they are their soldiers who are alive, they are gone, how do these soldiers love it!

The situation was very chaotic, after Wu Sangui arrived on the north bank, he only found thousands of men and horses under his command, and the rest were either annihilated on the south bank at this time, or they were scattered on the north bank at this time, but even so, it still made Sun Chuanting breathe a little relieved, because at the moment, only Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses still had some combat effectiveness, and the rest of his subordinates basically had no ability to fight against the Xingtian Army at this time.

"General Wu, you can be regarded as back!" Sun Chuanting took Wu Sangui's hand, not knowing what to say.

And Wu Sangui was also full of shame at this time, after all, he fought too badly on the south bank, and in the case of superior troops, he was still defeated by the thieves, and the soldiers and horses that crossed the river were also lost, so Wu Sangui hurriedly pleaded guilty to Sun Chuanting: "The last general is incompetent, and he failed to defeat the thief army on the south bank, but was defeated by the thief army!" I hope that the Overseer will forgive you! ”

At this time, Sun Chuanting knew that it was not a matter of accountability, but it was really because the Xingtian thieves were too cunning and set such a trap for them, allowing them to step into such a Jedi.

"Let's not mention this for the time being! Now that it is late today, General Wu still gathers his generals first, and fortifies here to block the thief army, only need to delay for a while, and wait until Ma Ke and Bai Guangen lead their troops to help, so that we can have a chance to escape! Sun Chuanting hurriedly picked up Wu Sangui, who was about to kneel down and plead guilty, and said to Wu Sangui with a nervous expression.

Wu Sangui has indeed suffered enough from the Xingtian Army today, when he was outside the Guan, he was often proud of the soldiers and horses led by their Wu Jiadu, and often boasted of being a peerless general, but after entering the customs today and meeting the Xingtian Army, he suddenly found that in front of the Xingtian Army, he was actually nothing, and now he completely believes that the rumors that the Xingtian Army defeated the Jiannu Army in the Funan area are true, the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army is indeed terrible, and the soldiers and generals are all brave people, and it is not something he can cope with at all.

But now he also observed the surrounding situation, the Xingtian Army has appeared in all directions at this time, not only the thief army on the south bank has blocked the Jindi River, but also has basically cleared the remnants of the official army on the south bank and controlled the entire south bank, and on the north bank, the official army has also been suppressed by the Xingtian thieves to a small area of less than four or five miles, and appeared in all directions, leaving the depth of the official army is also very small, but it is only a few miles away, more than 20,000 remnants of the official army defeated generals, Squeezed into such a small area, they really have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth!

Wu Sangui's heart was full of despair at this time, and he secretly shouted in his heart that it was over! But after listening to Sun Chuanting's words, he kindled a little hope, after all, this is not far from Shunde Mansion, there are more than 10,000 people and horses in Shunde Mansion, and Ma Ke is also leading his troops to the Daimyo Mansion to rush to this side, and if they can hold on here, Ma Ke and Bai Guangen led their troops to come and they can still be saved, not necessarily the whole army will be wiped out here, so they hurriedly hugged their fists and received the order, and went down to start arranging.
