The Ming army of the four towns of Zhuxian Town, with a total of 30,000 infantry and cavalry, was stationed on the west bank of the vortex river, and opposed the large camp of the Chuang army on the east bank.

The camp of the Ming army was divided into three camps, Ding Qirui supervised Fang Guo'an in the center and dispatched, Zuo Liangyu camped on the left wing, and Yang Wenyue led the general army Hu Dawei and camped on the right wing.

Since the army has come here, the official army and the army have fought several times, but they have not been able to bargain, and the two armies have been holding each other for some time.

This kind of stalemate will cause huge pressure on the hearts of both parties.

It was the third watch of the night, in the tent of the commander of the right camp, Yang Wenyue was still not sleeping, he was wearing a robe, holding half a candle in one hand, and by the candlelight, he looked intently at a map hanging in the tent.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the tent, and the buzzing noise sounded all over the place, as if the camp had been bombed, Yang Wenyue couldn't help frowning, and shouted unhappily outside the tent: "What's the matter, so noisy?"

But no one responded outside the tent, and after a while, just when Yang Wenyue was about to go out of the tent to check, the curtain of the tent was suddenly opened, and a stout general, with crooked armor, broke into the tent, wheezing and hurriedly said: "Yang Gong, the big thing is not good, Zuo Liangyu's guy ran away again~"

"What?" Yang Wenyue was shocked, a little incredulous, "What about Zuo Liangyu?" ”

The general who came in was Hu Dawei, a figure in the history of the Ming Dynasty, who was relied on by Yang Sichang and Yang Wenyue, and was a rare general who still listened to the words of the imperial court and had feelings for his family and country in his heart, Sun Chuanting said that he was the same brave general as Yang Guozhu.

However, at this time, he was not brave or not, and it seemed that he had no effect on the situation. Tonight, he just finished patrolling the camp, returned to the tent and lay down to rest, before he fell asleep, there was a commotion outside, and the soldiers suddenly came in to report, Zuo Liangyu ran away overnight, and the army had begun to attack the camp.

This frightened Hu Dawei hurriedly put on his armor and left the camp, and found that Zuo Liangyu had fled, causing a chain reaction, and the Chinese army and his right battalion also bombed the camp, and it was already a mess.

This phenomenon is not the first time that this phenomenon has appeared in the Ming army, the last time was the Battle of Songshan, and it was also the general who led the people to run first, causing the collapse of the whole army.

At this time, there was already a big chaos in the camp, once the army took advantage of the situation to attack, the consequences would be unimaginable, Hu Dawei didn't have time to say too much, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Yang Gong, it's not appropriate to say more now, after the end will be broken, you quickly escort Yang Gong away!"

Gao Yiyan, the Tartar killing hero standing behind Hu Dawei, immediately led several subordinates forward and carried Yang Wenyue, "Supervisor, evacuate with us~"

On the other side, Ding Qirui was called up in the middle of the night, Zuo Liangyu on the left wing ran clean early, and the right camp and the middle camp had already bombed the camp, and at this time, on the east bank of the vortex river, a piece of torch was suddenly lit, like a galaxy in the night sky, and a large number of intruders were crossing the vortex river with a neighing voice.

At this moment, Ding Qirui was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't even have time to bring Shang Fang's sword and seal ribbon, so he fled from the camp in a panic.

On the official road from Zhuxian Town to the south, 30,000 officers and soldiers fled in the wilderness, and a large group of figures appeared in the wilderness. These people are sparse in front, and the further back they go, the denser they become, as if the Yellow River has burst its banks.

Gao Yiyan was wearing a cotton armor, his helmet had long been discarded, but the war knife was still hanging on his waist, and he was holding the equally embarrassed Yang Wenyue, and he was fleeing forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Beside him, the officers and soldiers who were originally brightly dressed and armored were already embarrassed at this time, most of them had no weapons, and even the cotton armor was taken off, and the soldiers supported each other and walked quickly to the south, and from time to time someone fell down, and then was dragged away by the comrades behind.

At this time, the governor of Baoding, Yang Wenyue Wusha, was also lost, leaving only a scarlet official robe, his gray hair was scattered, shaped like dry grass, and there was no longer a little majesty of the governor of the Ming Dynasty. He was escorted by Gao Yiqi and walked in the middle of the team, looking back from time to time, and seeing the people and horses that he had finally brought out, he became this miserable for some reason, and he was not as shocking as a knife.

"Has the Tiger General Soldier kept up?" Yang Wenyue kept turning his head, asked in a trembling voice, and after a while, he turned back and asked, "Has Wang Yan kept up?" ”

"Old Inspector, after the Tiger Boss Rong broke off in the back, Wang Yan was separated and didn't know his whereabouts, the thieves were behind, the old Inspector, let's pass Xuzhou first, and then look for them!" Lu Yifang, who was on the side, sent grain to Zhuxian Town, and before he could return to the north in a hurry, he caught up with this big defeat, and fled south with the official army, and said a little breathlessly.

"Coming to Xuzhou?" Yang Wenyue's eyes were a little blank, and he even rolled his eyes a little.

Lu Yifang only felt that after walking for two days and two nights, his legs didn't look like his own, so he estimated that he should be in Xuchang soon.

At this time, he was about to speak, when the team in front of him suddenly made a commotion, and someone shouted loudly: "Old Inspector, catch up with Inspector Ding!" ”

Ding Qirui was after Yang Sichang's death, and only after the death of Yang Sichang did he drive the ducks on the shelves and take over the chaos of the bandits, but in fact, the Chongzhen Dynasty suppressed the bandits for more than ten years, and fought with the outsiders.

Ding Qirui's talent is only average, not as bold as Sun Chuanting, after arriving in Shaanxi, in front of the generals of Shaanxi, he slaughtered He Renlong's fight like killing chickens, and immediately suppressed the Shaanxi generals, but Ding Qirui did not have that courage and ability.

When Zuo Liangyu ran, Ding Qirui saw that the left flank was empty, and the Chinese army and the right battalion had already bombed the camp, so he fled in a hurry and ran in front of Yang Wenyue.

Hearing that he had caught up with Ding Qirui, Yang Wenyue looked over and saw that a group of people had gathered in front of him, so he immediately ordered Gao Yi, who was supporting him, and said, "Quick, help me over." ”

The group walked through the crowd, Gao Yi's eyes searched around in the crowd, and he saw a civil official in a scarlet robe, sitting on the ground with a cloak of hair, so he hurriedly helped Yang Wenyue over, Yang Wenyue saw Ding Qirui's embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help sighing: "Ding Gong, the matter has come to this, you and I should cheer up and clean up the situation again!" ”

When Ding Qirui heard this, he raised a pale face, and asked with a miserable smile: "Yang Gong, do you and I still have a chance to clean up the situation again?" ”

Yang Wenyue's face turned pale when he heard this, but Ding Qirui continued: "Now the number of roads in the imperial court, Yang Gong is still not clear, only those who have soldiers in their hands can protect themselves, you and I are finished, wait for Tiqi to come and get it." ”

In fact, the Ming Dynasty also produced a lot of capable figures, and also produced many ministers and generals who were dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, tried their best to suppress bandits and exterminate captives, and worked hard, but these ministers and generals who did things and obeyed orders were all killed by the emperor and his colleagues.

Yang Sichang, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong, Cao Bianjiao, Man Gui, etc. died very unjustly, and people like Zuo Liangyu, who are not strong in ability and are good at pitting people and escaping from the battle, were left behind by Chongzhen because they took the lead in understanding the mercenaries' self-respecting moves, and finally developed into a force that could influence the world and bury the Southern Ming Dynasty with a wave of Qing monarchs. It is ironic that honest people who do things with all their hearts are dead, but those who have evil intentions have been plagued for thousands of years.

Zuo Liangyu killed the governor Wang Qiaonian a few years ago, and then killed Yang Sichang in Shashi, and now he has two governors, in just a few years, even four big people, and then the entire Southern Ming court, the ability of the pit people can be said to be not ordinarily strong.

Yang Wenyue knew that this time the loss was heavy, and the responsibility had to be borne by others, he would definitely not be able to escape, and he couldn't help but be silent for a while, and at this moment, there was a commotion behind them, Hu Dawei carried a glaive knife, and rode over with blood, grabbed the reins and asked urgently: "Where is Yang Gong?" ”

The soldiers in the back did not know the situation, and some people cried that the governor had been killed by thieves in the chaos, but some people said that Governor Yang was in front.

Hu Dawei led a group of cavalry, immediately ignored the rout, and shouted loudly as he ran forward, "Where is Yang Gong?" ”

He galloped for a while, and under the instructions of the rout, he finally saw Yang Wenyue and Ding Qirui in the distance. He hurriedly galloped over, turned over and dismounted, stepped forward with the glaive knife, and bowed down urgently, "Two overseers, you can't stay here for a long time, the thief cavalry is behind, and after the end of the day, the superintendent will go to Runing quickly~"
