The vanguard of the officers and soldiers who had just left the camp pushed a lot of carts as their cover, but as soon as the cannons of the Xingtian Army rang out, these carts were beaten in all directions and shattered into pieces, and many officers and soldiers who had not yet seen the Xingtian Army were bombarded to death on the spot.

You can see the landing point of the artillery shells of the Xingtian Army everywhere on the battlefield, although the land here is soft, which is not conducive to the huge role of the shells, but there are many people! There are dozens of heavy artillery pieces, dozens of light artillery, and nearly 100 guns together, and the Xingtian Army all fire cannons in a salvo, and every time the shells fall, they fall into the crowd of officers and soldiers, and the psychological pressure caused is so great that the officers and soldiers cannot bear it.

Therefore, in this breakthrough operation, which they had high hopes for, the soldiers who acted as the vanguard only rushed to the front of the Xingtian Army's position a few dozen paces away, and then completely collapsed, and the frightened officers and soldiers lost their rows, turned around and ran back like headless flies, and then were knocked to the ground by the bullets chasing their buttocks, and the remaining officers and soldiers who followed were even more unbearable, seeing the vanguard in front of them collapse, they collapsed faster, and they were defeated in a hula.

Wu Sangui closed his eyes in pain, and had to admit that the breakthrough had failed, so he hurriedly asked for orders to collect the troops, Sun Chuanting also sighed, so he had to nod and agree to collect the troops, and quickly gathered the soldiers and horses that had been killed out of the camp back into the camp, and once again closed the camp and waited to be beaten.

After the officers and men withdrew, hundreds of corpses of officers and soldiers were left on the battlefield, and many of them were not dead, lying on the battlefield whining and wailing, and the condition could be said to be horrible.

After the Xingtian army repelled the official army, it did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, watched the official army flee back to the camp, and then immediately sent men and horses out to start cleaning the battlefield, dragging back some of the oars that had not been destroyed and discarded by the officers and soldiers, and then dragged back the corpses of the officers and soldiers in batches, and pulled them to a distance and buried them.

As for the seriously wounded officers and soldiers, they must be hopeless, so Xiao Tianjian ordered to relieve their pain, mend the knife and send them on the road, and for the lightly injured, they were put into the camp for bandaging and treatment, and treated them well.

And the officers and soldiers could only watch the Xingtian Army clean up the battlefield outside the camp, and some of the generals who couldn't open their eyes couldn't help but order the artillery bombardment to kill these soldiers and generals of the Xingtian Army who entered the battlefield and tried to clean up the battlefield, but immediately attracted the fierce retaliation of the Xingtian Army's artillery, and within a short period of time, a group of shells whistled and fell into the position where they fired the artillery, and soon the fire-fired general cannons were overturned to the ground, so frightened that the remaining officers and soldiers did not dare to fire any more artillery, so they could only hide in the camp and stare dryly.

At this time, it can be said that the morale of the officers and soldiers is even more declining, and the entire official and military battalion can be said to be like a dead domain, no one speaks, they all stand or sit in a daze, looking at each other.

After a while, some people scolded that they couldn't do this job, they were doomed to die, they couldn't escape, there was a person who scolded like this, and more people followed and scolded, and the morale that had fallen to the bottom was even more difficult to find, so Sun Chuanting had no choice but to ask for Shang Fang's sword, and killed a group of generals, which was how much the morale of the army was suppressed.

However, everyone no longer had any hope of breaking through, and they all lay in the camp one by one, looking at the sky, with a wooden face and a posture of waiting for death.

Besides, Bai Guangen's side, although Bai Guangen had the intention to lead his troops to rescue Sun Chuanting, but after arriving at the Daimyo's Mansion, he found that this would not work at all, not to mention that after his men and horses met Ma Ke's men, morale was greatly affected, and all the soldiers and generals complained about this, feeling that they were simply seeking their own death this time, and there must be an army of torture thieves waiting for them to come to the door, so the morale was very low, and even the night before arriving at the Daimyo's Mansion, there were a large number of deserters. made Bai Guangen quite helpless about this.

However, thinking of Sun Chuanting's request for help from him, Bai Guangen still stubbornly led his troops forward, but after arriving at the Daimyo's Mansion, he was blocked by the Xingtian soldiers and horses.

This time Luo Li and Li Xin did not play any conspiracy with Bai Guangen, as soon as the soldiers and horses arrived, they started to fight, Bai Guangen personally led the troops to launch an attack on Luo Li's department, but the result was very simple, that is, he was beaten by the head and face, and retreated, and then Luo Li personally led the troops to launch a counterattack on Bai Guangen's soldiers and horses, and the two armies fought for a day, Bai Guangen's soldiers broke and fled, and when he fled back to Shunde Mansion, there were only more than 4,000 people left, and most of the soldiers would mutiniate and defect in the middle of the road. The surrender of the Xingtian Army made Bai Guangen's rescue operation come to a tragic end, and the reinforcements that Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui expected were completely lost.

Soon after Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui were defeated and surrounded, someone quickly sent the news back to the Beijing Division, and Chongzhen cried on the spot after hearing it, it can be said that all his hopes were shattered by Xiao Tianjian at this moment.

Originally, he braved the world's disapproval and Jiannu to negotiate peace, just to send the northern army south to deal with the Xingtian army, in order to restrain the Xingtian army and save the Ming Dynasty that was about to collapse, but now there is the news of Wang Pu's defeat, and then the news that Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui are defeated and surrounded.

And Chen Xinjia, who is Chongzhen's auxiliary minister, has been completely blind by this time, and he has been transferred to the Guannei soldiers and horses that can be transferred outside the Guan, but these Guanning Army, Xuanda Bing, and Liaodong soldiers are still not as good as one, and there is only one defeat when they encounter the Xingtian Army, and it is defeated again and again, and now Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui are surrounded by the Xingtian Army in Yanggu County, and his life and death are unknown, he can only ask Chongzhen and immediately send Bai Guangen and Ma Ke to rescue.

After hearing this, Chongzhen could only agree, personally drafted a copy, and sent someone out of Beijing overnight to send it to Shunde Mansion, ordering Ma Ke and Bai Guangen to rescue Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui's department, at this time Wu Sangui's son Wu Xiang was also so anxious that he jumped up and down, and constantly sent people into Beijing to lobby the courtiers, asking them to find a way to send reinforcements to rescue his baby son Wu Sangui, but at this time, even if the courtiers in the court received money, there were no soldiers to adjust, and no one wanted to understand how many soldiers and horses the Xingtian Army had now, and they could use troops in several directions at the same time. And judging from the news, it seems that there are a lot of troops in each place, and it is estimated that if they are added together, it will be at least hundreds of thousands of horses, and the imperial court is full of troops, and the current strength of the whole country is only a few hundred thousand, and it is also scattered on the huge territory, who can transfer the soldiers to rescue Wu Sangui and Sun Chuanting?

However, Ma Ke and Bai Guangen, who were pinned on by Chongzhen, soon came to the news, and these two people suffered losses in the hands of the Xingtian Army, first Ma Ke was defeated in the Daimyo Mansion and withdrew to Shunde Mansion, and then Bai Guangen failed to rescue and returned to Shunde Mansion in defeat.

After Bai Guangen returned to Shunde Mansion, he immediately started the imperial court, impeached Ma Ke for avoiding the war and not saving him when he saw death, and Ma Ke also expected that after Bai Guangen returned from defeat, he would definitely be impeached by him, so he sent someone to start the court one step in advance, saying that Bai Guangen was alone in the army, and did not listen to the advice and caused a big defeat, and refused to cooperate with him to send troops together.

So this lawsuit had to be fought, and the courtiers who had nothing to do for this group of well-fed and supportive courtiers began to argue around whose fault it was, and finally Chen Xinjia could not determine whose words were true, so he sent someone to Shunde Mansion to understand the situation, and turned back to convict another, but he first convicted Wang Pu of the defeat in Shuozhou, and dismissed Wang Pu from the official position of the general army of Datong on the charge that Wang Pu was unfavorable to the battle, demoted him to a general, and removed Wang Pu several levels at once.

But at this time, who will save Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui, including Chongzhen, the government and the opposition have no idea, so they can only let Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui ask for more blessings.

The news of Bai Guangen's repulsion was ordered by Xiao Tianjian to send people to run outside the official army camp and shouted at the officers and soldiers in a loud voice, which can be said to have made the trapped officers and soldiers all known, and also informed them of Ma Ke's refusal to help, and now they have become lone soldiers, persuade them not to do unnecessary resistance, the court can no longer come to rescue them, and advise Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui These officials and generals to quickly give up their illusions, don't give up their lives for the imperial court anymore, or quickly go out of the camp and surrender, It also saves the officers and soldiers from being killed or wounded.

At the same time, Xiao Tianjian also asked his subordinates to shout to the official army camp, telling them that as long as they surrendered, their safety could be guaranteed, and the Xingtian Army would never kill prisoners, no matter what they had done before, as long as they changed their minds and became good people in the future, then they would not be responsible for the past, which could be regarded as an official announcement of the prisoner of war policy of the Xingtian Army.

In addition to doing these things, Xiao Tianjian also sent out the wounded officers and soldiers who were sheltered by the generals, let them go outside the official army camp, and told the officers and soldiers in the camp that after they were injured, the Xingtian Army not only did not kill them, but also treated them and fed them, so as to enhance the effect of persuasion to surrender.

In this way, when they learned that there was no hope for reinforcements, the officers and soldiers in the battalion were even more panicked, and their military hearts floated, and they even shouted at some of the brave soldiers of the Xingtian Army who ran to them within a stone's throw and didn't bother to shoot them with arrows again.

Many officers and soldiers actually have families and rooms, and some of them come out to serve as soldiers because they are originally military households, and they can't do anything other than being soldiers, and their status is extremely low, and some of them have committed crimes and have been filled into the army, and some people are mixed into the army to eat, if they have food and salary, and there is still hope of winning the war, this work can still be done for them, but once they are desperate, then the soldiers will not have much courage to play with their lives anymore.

Sun Chuanting was also frowning in the camp, but sometimes he had to force a smile to make a relaxed expression to appease his generals, at this time, he also knew that the possibility of them breaking through was not very large, and under the floating military spirit, they could not hold on for a long time, even if the grain they carried this time could last for a while, the military spirit had been dispersed, and it was unlikely that this battle would be fought basically.

However, he didn't think about surrendering at all, in his opinion, he is a capable minister, and at the same time should be a famous minister and a loyal minister, surrendering to the thief is an unthinkable thing, since he can't cut off such a scourge for the court in his life, then he also has to be a minister who died for the country.

Therefore, he had a secret discussion with Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui also said that he would never surrender to the Xingtian Army, after all, their Wu family's family property is in the Guanning area and the Jingshi, and surrender is not an option for him, and once he surrenders, then his family will definitely be affected by Zhulian, and I am afraid that he will be hated by the emperor in the future, so he expressed his willingness to protect Sun Chuanting to break out.

After the two talked secretly for a long time, they finally made up their minds to break through again, and after cleaning up, Sun Chuanting secretly instructed his standard battalion to prepare for a breakthrough, and Wu Sangui also brought the Liaodong Army under his command together, or they were the main force for this breakthrough.
