At this time, Wu Sangui has long stopped thinking about the problem of cherishing soldiers and not sparing soldiers, everyone can now be said to have become an egg in a nest, how can there be eggs under the nest, and then consider cherishing the soldiers, then he will really become a fool, once this place can't be defended, everyone will be finished, so he hurriedly sorted out the soldiers and horses under his command, and pulled in all the soldiers who could be pulled in, and tried to temporarily organize these panicked generals, stationed them in three directions, forming a line of defense, and informed these people, Once they can't hold it, then they will all be finished, and no one will want to go back to the outside of the pass, which also arouses the morale of some generals, and summons up Yu Yong to fight continuously with the attacking Xingtian Army before dark, and successfully withstood several onslaughts of the Xingtian Army, temporarily stabilizing the defense line.

And Sun Chuanting sat in the center, commanding the remaining soldiers, gathering all kinds of carts gathered in the riverside area, inserting cards around them, and temporarily assigned the soldiers who could go into battle to some generals, so that they could lead the formation, temporarily relying on these carts to form a car formation, and made a stubborn posture, and at this time Wu Sangui also temporarily led the troops to stabilize the front, and slowly withdrew into the car formation to rest.

Sun Chuanting worked tirelessly, patrolled around the camp, checked the situation of the defense, and constantly dispatched troops to supplement the weak places, so that Wu Sangui's men and horses could take a temporary rest, and use them as a reserve to come to the center to respond to the defense everywhere at any time, and the cannons that could be found were also set up on the edge of the camp, aimed at the periphery, and he was also afraid that the Xingtian army would forcibly cross the Jindi River, and he did not forget to build fortifications and send troops to guard the river, more than 20,000 officers and soldiers, just like that, the hedgehogs gathered into a group, piled up on the bank of the Jindi River, and made a posture of preparing to lie down and be beaten.

After Xiao Tianjian followed Liu Yaoben to clear or disperse the remnants of the officers and troops on the south bank, he handed over the defense of the south bank to Liu Yaoben, and he took a small number of guards to make a detour to the upper reaches of the Jindi River, crossed the Jindi River, reached the north bank, and took over the command of the north bank.

At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the two armies were tired for the time being, so they suspended their attacks on each other, and the battlefield was temporarily calm.

Xiao Tianjian was also busy and found a random place in the army to get a bowl of rice, and he ate a full stomach with a few salted radish strips, and immediately began to convene the generals under his command.

Luo Li and other generals each reported their results, this battle, except for Huang Shengqiang, who had just arrived late, had not yet made any achievements, the rest of the departments could be said to have achieved quite brilliant results, especially Situ Liang's cavalry, which played an important role in the afternoon battle, leading the troops to kill three in and three out of the official army, dividing and disrupting many officers and troops, and creating conditions for the division and annihilation of the officers and troops.

After the various units were killed in the afternoon, they all had their own accounts, not only killing a lot of officers and men, but also capturing quite a lot of officers and soldiers, just the captured officers and soldiers, there were more than 5,000 people, and there were still quite a few scattered officers and soldiers, after a preliminary estimate of the strength of the remaining officers and soldiers, everyone agreed that the current strength of the officers and soldiers was about a little more than half, which was basically similar to the actual situation of the officers and soldiers.

Such a war of tens of thousands of people is only concentrated in such a small place, for the Xingtian Army, it is still very rare, and the establishment of the Xingtian Army is very complicated, it is already good to be able to achieve such a result, although Xiao Tianjian feels that the battle in the afternoon failed to completely solve the men and horses of Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui, which is somewhat regrettable, but think about it carefully, even if 40,000 people line up for them to kill casually, I am afraid that it will not be able to be killed in a while, not to mention that these people are also Han. Xiao Tianjian couldn't bear to slaughter them all, after all, these officers and soldiers were also in the prime of life, and if they could leave one more, they would have more strength for the restoration of agriculture in the Central Plains in the future.

After nightfall, the two armies lit the lantern ball torch Liangzi Pina, illuminated the entire battlefield, separated from each other by a distance of several miles, Chen Bing temporarily truce, the lighting torches were connected into a piece, from the sky can be clearly seen, with the official army as the center, forming a large oval battlefield, the various departments of the Xingtian Army firmly surrounded the official army in this small place.

The night in spring was still very cold, but because this time it was a surprise battle, the Xingtian army did not let the baggage battalion come with the army, so the soldiers and generals did not have a tent to use, so according to the old habit, they all sat around the bonfire, huddled together with each other to warm and rest, and a large number of sentries were responsible for monitoring the movements of the officers and troops on the opposite side from a distance.

The lights were also bright at this time, and all the generals were sitting on the small horses, surrounding Xiao Tianjian, Luo Lizheng said loudly with a red face: "Dashuai, what are you waiting for?" According to my Lao Luo, he took advantage of the evening to cover them at once, and they were pulled down after solving them in one night! Why bother the brothers to stay outside? If you don't do it at night, let Sun Chuanting's dog official slow down, and it won't be easy to fight tomorrow! ”

For Luo Li's proposal, there are many people among the generals who expressed their support, and they also saw the weakness of the official army, and now the strength of the two armies has been weakened a lot after the first battle in the afternoon, and the Xingtian army has not only overshadowed the official army in morale, but now it is not weaker than the official army in terms of strength, so they think that launching a fierce attack at night is likely to have solved Sun Chuanting's official army before dawn.

But Xiao Tianjian shook his head again and again and said, "No! Say you can't fight tonight! It is best for them to form a group now, although we are likely to win the night battle, but it is not conducive to the play of our combat effectiveness, after the breakthrough, it is likely to be a melee, our advantages can not be brought into play, and the casualties will definitely be relatively large! For these officers and soldiers who have become trapped beasts, this style of play is too stupid!

In addition, have you thought about it, we have been hiding in Tibet these days, although the morale is very high, but the soldiers have not been rested, and now they are tired enough, just now when I was eating, I saw that some soldiers were tired and fell asleep with bowls! It's time for them to take a breather, too!

Besides, what I'm most afraid of is not that the officers and soldiers will gather here to die, but that they will take advantage of the chaos to break through and escape. The night battle is too difficult to organize, and if you are not careful, the main general of the official army may take advantage of the chaos to break through, and there are many cavalry of the Liaodong Army under the command of Wu Sangui in the official army, and our cavalry is not as many as theirs, once they want to break out, it will be difficult for us to intercept all of them, so they are trapped and more in line with my thoughts!

Don't talk about it, tonight's night battle is definitely not good, but you can consider sending a small number of men and horses to constantly attack them, at this time they have already become frightened birds, so let them be uneasy again!

In addition, all departments should closely monitor the actions of the officers and soldiers, don't let them break through at night, Situ Liang, your cavalry must be ready at any time, and there are also Shi Ran, Lin Luo, your scouts can also be put away, used as cavalry, ready to deal with the breakthrough of the officers and troops at any time! ”

"Handsome! Don't fight at night! But the last general feels that if we drag it here, once the officers and soldiers of Shunde Mansion learn the news and lead their troops to help, we will be exposed to the enemy! How can we deal with this? Li Dingguo took the initiative to stand up at this time and asked Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian nodded and asked Li Dingguo to sit down, and then said with a smile: "What are you afraid of?" Who else can there be in Shunde Mansion? Is it just that Ma Ke and Bai Guangen? Ha ha! As far as I've heard, these two things can be described as runaway generals, a standard wine bag and rice bag! They learned that Sun Chuanting had so many soldiers and horses here, and they were actually besieged here by us, did they dare to come?

Of course, we can't say that he will not dare to come, but what if he comes? For this horse, I expected that there would be 3,000 centaurs, and I would be able to get rid of him! I'm afraid that if he doesn't come, if he comes, he won't want to go back smoothly! It's called a siege to help, and it's better for both of them to come together, which would be more to my liking! Hum! "Xiao Tianjian knows a little bit about Ma Ke's personality, so he doesn't take Ma Ke in his eyes at all, what he is gathered at the moment is the essence of the Xingtian Army, although the strength may not be too much, but they have not fought less battles with less victories, if Ma Ke comes, with his existing strength, he is really not afraid of him coming, if he comes, he will also have enough strength to clean him up.

Although everyone's idea of wanting to clean up Sun Chuanting's group of officers and soldiers as soon as possible was not approved by Xiao Tianjian, everyone's mood was still quite good at this time, after all, these days, they have been holding back enough, and they have been hidden in Tibet by Xiao Tianjian and Li Xin, and they have always been hiding and not daring to show their heads, and today they finally let Sun Chuanting introduce them into their urn, although they were not able to kill them in a battle, but after all, it was already a great victory, even if they withdrew their troops now, Sun Chuanting and they were also defeated, What's more, now that they are surrounding Sun Chuanting to death, it is a matter of time before they are resolved.

At this time, there was a roar in the camp of the officers and soldiers in the distance, and then a whistling sound was heard in the air, and a cannonball actually fell outside the camp of the Xingtian Army, jumping and raising a slip of dust, but at such a distance, there was basically no power, it just scared everyone.

"Grandma's! Lao Tzu didn't beat them first, they fired first to hit us! Handsome! Since they don't want to be idle at night, please allow the general to set up a cannon and bombard his mother, anyway, they don't want to have a good night! Huang Shengqiang stood up and said angrily.

Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "Accurate!" But don't hit it too hard! Bombard them every once in a while, so that they can't live in peace! In addition, you also have to guard against being attacked by the official army, and you can't go forward alone! In this way, Li Dingguo, you lead your battalion to cover their movement forward, and build an artillery array overnight to prevent the night attack of the official army! That's all for tonight, arrange the sentry posts, set up the defensive line, and then rest all! I'll clean them up tomorrow! Don't sleep too hard at night! If anyone lets Sun Chuanting and Wu Sangui go from you, be careful that I want you to come to see me!" Scattered! ”

After the generals received the order, they immediately got up and responded to the order, and then they dispersed and returned to their respective camps to start arranging, saying that they were to rest, and none of these guys had a proper rest, so they dispatched a group of soldiers overnight and began to dig ditches around the periphery of the officers and soldiers.
