Early the next morning, before Sun Chuanting could 'figure out' the layout and strength of the thieves, the thieves took the initiative to attack. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ . However, his train finally worked this time, rumbling in the morning light and 'shooting' projectiles, repelling the rogue's tentative attack.

At this time, Yang Chengzu came to report, and the thieves in the direction of Fancheng also left the city, there were tens of thousands, and there were more than 10,000 cavalry, pressing towards their camp.

"Get Gao Jie!" Sun Chuanting immediately ordered.

After a while, Gao Jie came. He was arranging the retreat of the troops, so there was a delay.

"How's it going to be in the west?" Sun Chuanting immediately asked.

Gao Jie clenched his fists and replied: "I just got a return, and there is no sign of a thief within ten miles." However, Taiping Town, Xianrendu, and Gucheng all have bandit garrisons. ”

"Circumference three is missing one." Sun Chuanting muttered to himself in his heart. He knew that as soon as his troops left the camp, the thieves would chase them down, and there would be a risk that the whole army would be scattered. But if he didn't leave, he didn't have much to eat, and he could only last a day or two when he was surrounded here, and then the hungry troops would either surrender or break up, and the result would be the same.

"Supervisor, you have to break through quickly, if you are surrounded, you will have no chance." Bai Guangen nervously persuaded. He remembered that Jinzhou and Songshan City, which were besieged in Liaodong, also had no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, and he heard that they all ate human 'meat'. It's okay if you can live by eating human 'meat', but in the end, it's not surrender? After that, it is life or death, but it is a matter of people's words, and he doesn't want to 'hand' over here.

This time, Li Zicheng dispatched nearly 400,000 troops and brought almost all of his field troops over. To the north are Li Guo, Liu Xiyao, Yuan Zongdi, as well as He Jin and Dang Shousu and others. The 100,000-strong army of Li Guo and others was to block Sun Chuanting's northward advance, while the 60,000-strong army of He Jin and Dang Shousu was on the border of Chen Binghuguang and Henan, preventing Li Yan from going south to rescue.

To the east is Liu Fangliang, Lin Yangsheng, Gu Kecheng and other 60,000 troops. To the south was an army of 80,000 led by him, Liu Zongmin, and Tian Jianxiu. In the west, there are only 20,000 troops such as Xie Junyou and Liu Rukui. That's what it means, even if Sun Chuanting comes to attack, they won't resist with all their might.

Li Zicheng was well prepared this time, and planned to follow Sun Chuanting's defeated troops all the way and take down Shaanxi. Originally, it would have been much easier to go to Henan, but there was a tiger Li Yan lying there, and they could only 'force' Sun Chuanting to return to Shaanxi from Xunyang.

Huguang's existing territory will allow Tian Jianxiu and Gao Yigong to stay and garrison temporarily. As for Zuo Liang's 'jade', they were not too worried. If Zuo Liang 'Yu' dares to provoke them, it will not be too late to come back to clean him up after he defeats Shaanxi.

On the periphery of Sun Chuanting's joint venture, two hundred paces away, the thieves used sandbags to build a long 'chest' wall. However, the thieves did not attack, but pulled their throats and pulled up with the officers and soldiers on the opposite side.

"Hey, have you eaten it?" The local voice of Shaanxi appeared in the ranks of the thieves. It was only the middle of the morning, but the people had always greeted each other like this. At a time when food is more expensive than gold, this way of greeting is particularly attractive.

The officers and soldiers here really haven't eaten, and they start fighting in the morning, and they haven't brought them anything to eat until now, and I don't know if the people in the rear are also hungry.

"Have you eaten?" Someone in the officers and soldiers shouted. The officers did not stop either. This is what they did when they struck down the thieves, and the thieves beckoned and left them some gold and silver, mules and horses, and grain, and so on, and they did not pursue them much. Now it's not a big deal to say hello and say a few words.

"I'm tired of eating rice, fish and shrimp." The thieves shouted loudly, "Do you have a cook there?" The noodles made by the guys here are very unpalatable. You bring the cook, we have a lot of white noodles here, so that you can also have a full meal. ”

There was a commotion here among the officers and soldiers, and although they could eat the cakes, potatoes were still the staple food. As soon as the thieves said noodles, they immediately drooled. They shouted, "Really? We eat potatoes every day, and we are sick to our stomachs. ”

"They are all Shaanxi villagers, what are you lying about? Just come here. The thieves shouted at him.

At this time, Sun Chuanting was finally informed of the situation ahead, and he had to send his standard battalion out to inspect, forbidding the soldiers to talk to the thieves on the phone. At the same time, he also realized that it would be impossible not to leave now, otherwise in two days, this army would all surrender and become thieves.

Sun Chuanting ordered: "General Yang, your troops stay to block the thieves, and I will lead the main force to open the passage to the west." I will wait for you in Xianrendu, let's cross the Han River together and go back to Shaanxi together. ”

Yang Chengzu looked at Gao Jie, Bai Guangen and the others who were staring at him, and could only pinch his nose and clench his fists to lead his life. After that, the ministries began to prepare and adjust in a panic.

After waiting for noon, Sun Chuanting finally asked the Huotou Army to send the soldiers multigrain steamed buns and dried pickles, so that the soldiers could have a full meal. After that, he immediately let Gao Jie take the lead and led his troops to withdraw westward. He had to retreat hastily, and if he delayed for another day, he was afraid that half of his troops would surrender and become a thief. There is no way, the treatment of officials and soldiers is much lower than that of thieves, and life is much more miserable.

Li Zicheng and the others naturally would not let Sun Chuanting withdraw so easily, and after the Daguan army drove out to the west, they immediately launched an attack on the camp of the official army. And Yang Chengzu's subordinates are also warless, why did they let the descendants of Shaanxi leave first and let them stay and die? So Li Zicheng started to attack, and they ran away.

Some even surrendered directly to Li Zicheng, and the life of the official army was really not as good as being a thief. As for Luo Rucai's hatred, they really haven't received any favors from Luo Rucai, so they don't have to care about the grievances of the leaders.

As soon as Yang Chengzu's troops broke and fled, Bai Guangen's troops who were dragging behind were also scattered. The trains were blocked on the road, seriously affecting the escape of the soldiers. So some people pushed the train down on the side of the road, while others untied the mules and horses that pulled the train, got on it and ran first.

So the situation that Li Zicheng and others wanted to see the most appeared. The officers and soldiers were completely caught in 'chaos' and 'chaos', fighting with each other and fleeing, and abandoning their heavy artillery to the ground. They pursued behind with soldiers and horses, and the cavalry rushed directly up, scattered the officers and soldiers who were blocking the way, and continued to pursue the officers and troops in front. The infantry in the back followed, either killing those who tried to resist or containing those who surrendered on their knees.

Li Zicheng laughed at the head of Fancheng. said to Tian Jianxiu, who had just come from Xiangyang: "'Jade' peak, Huguang will 'hand' you and a credit, I will take the brothers to knock down our hometown." We've been out there for so many years, and it's time for us to go home in style. ”

"Do you need to say hello to Li Yan?" Tian Jianxiu asked.

Liu Zongmin frowned and said, "If you don't go to Henan, what do you say hello to him?" ”

"After all, it's close to Henan, if he misunderstands, I'm afraid he will send troops." Tian Jianxiu reminded.

Li Zicheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "After ten days, you can send someone to inform him." Let's just say that we will cooperate well, and both phases will be good. If he has to use force on his own and can't get along with us, then everyone will not be good. ”
