After a period of slaughter by the thieves, the remaining officers and soldiers knew that they had no way to retreat, but instead they were in groups of 100 people and started a battle of trapped beasts. All of a sudden, the battle became fierce again.

It is a pity that the officers and soldiers are powerless after all. By sunset, the winner was already in sight. Except for a few officers and soldiers who escaped, most of the others were transformed into cold corpses.

The West Thief won, but it can only be said to be a pyreric victory.

Despite their favorable time, they still lost a large number of men. There are two reasons: one is because of the disadvantage of equipment. The armor of the officers and soldiers is generally superior to that of the western thieves, and the weapons are also complete, and the western thieves often suffer losses when fighting; The other is because of the struggle of the officers and soldiers before they die, and people often fall into madness when they reach despair, which also leads to heavy casualties among the thieves.

At the end of this battle, the 100,000 officers and soldiers of Chuzhou were all wiped out. On the side of the Western Thieves, in addition to the more than 200,000 coolies who were slaughtered by the previous officers and soldiers, more than 40,000 soldiers were also killed, and countless were injured.

Seeing that night was approaching, Sun Fu ordered the army to return to Jingyang City to recuperate first, and then make plans at dawn tomorrow.

…

On the second day, except for the wounded soldiers who could not move, most of the western thieves were mobilized to the northern city to clean up the battlefield.

Sun Fu didn't go to Beicheng, although he killed countless people, he couldn't stand the Shura field in the north of the city, which was full of hundreds of thousands of corpses. He stayed in the city, either reading a book or quietly thinking about things. The one who thinks about it the most is his son Sun Xun.

It seems that God always loves nothing to do.

As noon approached, Sun Fu was having dinner when he suddenly received a news that surprised him, a large number of well-equipped and menacing officers and soldiers appeared outside Jingyang City, and they just happened to encounter the western thieves who went out of the city to clean up the battlefield, and the two sides were fighting.

Sun Fu's heart is really up and down, how can there be such a thing? At this moment, he was in the city, and he could not rush to the battlefield to command the troops. I can only pray to God to bless the sons and daughters to show their might and shoot away the officers and soldiers who came out of nowhere.

But the progress of the war situation is contrary to what Sun Fu prayed for.

After yesterday's big battle, the men and horses of the various divisions were already exhausted, and a large number of soldiers were unable to fight because of injuries, in fact, there were only more than 30,000 soldiers out of the city at this moment. What's even worse is that Sun Fu is not in unified command among everyone. The western thieves also have mountains, and neither of them can command each other.

So, the battle lasted until mid-afternoon, and ended in the crushing defeat of the thieves.

The thieves who left the city lost two-thirds, and the rest did not dare to fight again, and fled back to the city.

Jingyang City.

"What's going on? How can there be officers and soldiers! How did you lose? ”

Looking at the generals who lost their armor and fled back in embarrassment, Sun Fu was shocked and angry, and asked loudly.

"Hui, the words of the Muslim master, these officers and soldiers seem to have come from the direction of Bei'an Province. Hiss. ”

Han Wei grinned in pain as he spoke. His left cheek was shot by a stray arrow from the officers and soldiers, and the arrow had just been pulled out, and he was now applying medicine.

Qin Chuan lowered his head and sighed, "The brothers were ambushed by the officers and soldiers. ”

"Ambush? Hollow in the north of the city? Sun Fu asked in surprise.

Qin Chuan nodded.

Sun Fu collapsed, how could it be that in the same place, first the officers and soldiers ambushed themselves, then they ambushed the officers and soldiers, and now they are ambushed by the officers and soldiers?

It turned out that after a big victory yesterday, the western thieves thought that it was impossible for the officers and soldiers to have the strength to attack Jingyang again in the short term. So today the people went out of the city defenseless, and they did not bring any weapons.

To the surprise of the thieves, around the hollow full of dead corpses, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers appeared at some point, silently lurking among the weeds, waiting for them to come and die.

In fact, these lurking officers and soldiers were the soldiers of the Fifth Brigade of Bei'an Prefecture who came a day late.

The soldiers of the county did not arrive at Jingyang until it was dark yesterday, and after arriving at their destination, the officers and soldiers found Feng Shi and Li Kui, who were immortal, and learned the news of the defeat of the main force of the officers and soldiers.

In order to be ashamed, Feng Shi kept taking advantage of the five brigade generals in Bei'an Province, and finally persuaded them to successfully fight a beautiful counterattack.

…

In Jingyang City, Sun Fu began to panic.

Now there are less than 15,000 capable soldiers in their hands, and the officers and soldiers have learned wisely after suffering a big loss, and they will not attack the city, nor will they no longer surround the three queyi, but only surround Jingyang City, and make up their minds to trap everyone to death.

As a last resort, Sun Fu had to summon his subordinates to the mansion to discuss.

"Brothers, this is a matter of life and death. If you have any plans, tell me quickly! ”

Sun Fu's tone lost his composure.

Everyone was dejected, and there was nothing to say. It seems that everyone is really going to die in this Jingyang City.

Sun Xun suddenly walked into the hall, greeted his father, and then said to everyone:

"Uncles, we have no choice but to break through the siege by force. The little nephew thought that now that the main force of the officers and soldiers had been lost, their defense was bound to be weaker than before. When we wanted to get out of Jingyang, we had to divide our troops into two routes, one as a bait to attract officers and soldiers, and the other as an opportunity to rush out from other places. ”

When they heard this, they all thought it reasonable.

Sun Fu's heart was faintly unhappy, his son stole his limelight everywhere, and even had a lot of prestige in the hearts of everyone, which made him feel threatened.

However, at the moment, he had no better idea, so he could only acquiesce to Sun Xun's strategy.

"Very good, worthy of being my son Sun Fu. Everyone did as the young master said. ”

…

A few days later, a large group of thieves suddenly forcibly broke through in the south of the city. More than 40,000 officers and soldiers in Bei'an Mansion immediately joined forces to attack, but they didn't want the main force of the real thieves to take the opportunity to escape from Jingyang from another direction.

Sun Fu suffered heavy losses this time, and when he left Jingyang City, he had less than 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

The thieves fled westward in disarray. When the officers and soldiers found out, they immediately pursued them and vowed to cut down the thieves to the roots.

The thieves desperately escaped from Dongning Mansion and entered the territory of Nanping Mansion.

…

Goyang-gun, the county guard.

Wang Bingyun sat on a low bench by the pond in the backyard, thinking about his thoughts while feeding the fish.

Wang Bingyun always paid close attention to the war situation, for fear that the officers and men of the fifth battalion he sent out would suffer losses.

Half a month ago, the servants told him that the officers and soldiers had arrived in Jingyang City. A few days later, the news came that the officers and soldiers had besieged Jingyang City.

Wang Bingyun estimated that the thieves were still trapped in Jingyang City, and this battle would take a long time. Now that the beginning of summer has arrived, his son Wang Darong's wedding is still more than three months away, and I don't know if he can come back in time.

"Master, master, it's not good. There is news from Wei County that there are western thieves who are flowing towards Gaoyang. ”

A housekeeper hurriedly broke into the backyard and told Wang Bingyun.

Wang Bingyun unhurriedly finished scattering the fish food in his hand, and then slowly asked, "Can you see how many people there are?" ”

The housekeeper said, "About four or five thousand." ”

Wang Bingyun was overjoyed, there were only so many people, could it be that the thieves had been defeated by the officers and soldiers? Are these not the remnants of thieves?

"Haha, it's really heaven to see that I'm too idle, and deliberately poured a great gong on my head."

Wang Bingyun muttered to himself for a moment, and said to the butler: "Pass my order, let the five battalions all command the soldiers and horses, and follow me out of the city to kill the thieves!" ”
