Chapter 82: Betrayal

Under the powerful offensive of the official army, Zhang Xianzhong had already retreated at this time. But he naturally knew that if he withdrew at this time, the officers and soldiers would definitely follow behind and take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and then there would really be countless casualties.

He didn't care how many people died, he only cared if he and his descendants could escape. As long as these descendants are still there, he has the possibility of a comeback.

Zhang Xianzhong knew very well that the greatest casualties in each battle came from retreating. Therefore, even if he wants to retreat, he must make good arrangements, and it is best to have a general lead people to block the officers and soldiers, so that he can calmly retreat into the city.

Before leaving the city, he had already ordered Sun Kewang to arrest the people of the city, and once the officials and soldiers did not keep their promises and began to attack the city, he would use the lives of these people to blackmail the officials and soldiers.

This is also the way back he left for himself.

At this time, the official army took advantage of the momentum of the great victory, launched a fierce counterattack, the artillery roared, the projectiles flew sideways, the fierce offensive of the official army made the already low morale of the Great Western Army unable to resist at all, the Great Western Army's position was as easy as a hot knife cutting cheese, and then was surrounded and annihilated.

The position of the Dashun army is rapidly shrinking at a terrifying speed visible to the naked eye, and all the previous positions of the Dashun army have basically completely collapsed, and there are big western troops running around everywhere.

However, the official army continued to advance, and those who ran to the edge of the Great Western Army were forced back into their main formation by the official cavalry active on the periphery, using their confusion to attack the main formation of the Great Western Army.

At this time, the only two remained intact and the morale of the army was led by Li Dingguo and the Praetorian Guard to protect Zhang Xianzhong, which was the foundation of Zhang Xianzhong's beginning. Of course, there are also Sun Kewang's troops in the city.

Just when Zhang Xianzhong was entangled and hesitating, he galloped to the banner of the Chinese army, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, General Li said that the official army is powerful and invincible, please Your Majesty take the Praetorian Guards to retreat to the city first, General Li will lead people to stop the official army, please don't hesitate!" ”

Hearing Li Dingguo say that he wanted to retreat for his palace, Zhang Xianzhong was greatly moved, and said loudly: "Dingguo and my son have a filial piety, and I remember it in my heart." After the official army retreats, I will crown him king as a sign of my son's filial piety. ”

After saying that, he immediately ordered the Praetorian Guards to retreat, and he got off the cloud chariot and rode on his horse to retreat towards the city under the protection of the Praetorian Guards.

Zhang Xianzhong looked back while fleeing, and saw Li Dingguo's banner rushing towards the chasing officers and soldiers from a distance, the sound of killing on both sides shook the sky, the guns roared, the battle situation was obviously extremely fierce, and he sighed in his heart that Li Dingguo was really the most loyal person to himself.

If he could see it before the battle between the two armies at this time, he would definitely fall off his horse in anger.

From a distance, the battle between Li Dingguo's men and horses and the officers and soldiers was extremely fierce, but the actual situation was that the swords and guns in the hands of Li Dingguo's men and horses were dancing into the air, and the muskets in the hands of the officers and soldiers were also fired at the sky.

The two sides agreed before that Li Dingguo's men and horses would not be attacked by the official army, and they would also cooperate with him to play a scene.

Zhang Xianzhong fled to the city with the Praetorian Guards, but when he ran to the city, he found that the city gate was closed, and the defenders at the head of the city did not open the door for them.

An officer of the Praetorian Guard came forward to call the door, but was killed on the spot by an arrow from the city.

Zhang Xianzhong was furious, and personally rushed to the city to scold, so that Sun Kewang came out to see him.

Although the defenders in the city have decided to rebel, in the face of Zhang Xianzhong, the murderous demon king, the emperor of the Great Western Kingdom, he still cowered and did not dare to face it, so he had to invite Sun Kewang.

Sun Kewang honestly likes Zhang Xianzhong to die on the battlefield, but at this moment, he also has to face Zhang Xianzhong.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. Although Zhang Xianzhong was brutal and easy to kill, he was also the one who brought him out, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, so that he could face Zhang Xianzhong as a rebel, and he was also very embarrassed in his heart.

But if he doesn't come out at this time, the guards at the head of the city will not be able to withstand Zhang Xianzhong's pressure, and I am afraid that something bad will happen, so he has to appear on the head of the city.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong still didn't believe that Sun Kewang had two hearts, and only thought that the soldiers below were making their own decisions.

Sun Kewang, hurry up and open the city gate for Lao Tzu. Those disobedient bastards just now are going to be chopped up by Lao Tzu when they turn around. Zhang Xianzhong rode on his horse and shouted.

"Your Majesty, this gate cannot be opened. The Great Western Army is finished, and the Great Western Kingdom is also finished. I have followed you for so many years and made countless contributions to you, and I am worthy of you. Now I have to think about myself, I have dedicated this city to the court, and I am now a member of the court. Thinking of our love for so many years, you should run for your life. Otherwise, the officers and soldiers will come in a while, and you won't be able to escape if you want to. ”

Sun Kewang stood on the top of the city wall and shouted.

His words stunned the Praetorian Guards below, no one would have thought that Sun Kewang, one of His Majesty's two most trusted generals, would rebel, and he would rebel so justifiably, looking at each other one by one, buzzing and discussing.

The most devastated was naturally Zhang Xianzhong, who was stunned for a moment, and finally came back to his senses, was furious, snatched a bow and arrow from a soldier next to him, and shot an arrow at the city.

Zhang Xianzhong's riding and archery kung fu is very good, although he is old, but this arrow is shot with anger, extraordinary, and the speed is amazing.

Sun Kewang was already guarding against his arrows when he spoke, and when he saw his movements, he immediately ducked behind the battlement.

Zhang Xianzhong's arrow roared upward, carrying a great force, and it did not hit Sun Kewang, but it hit one of the soldiers behind him.

didn't shoot, Zhang Xianzhong was annoyed and ashamed, and screamed so that the Praetorian Guards shot arrows at the city.

The arrows of the Praetorian Guard also attracted a counterattack from the city, and the arrows rained between the two sides, Sun Kewang occupied a favorable position and was condescending, and the Praetorian Guard was quickly defeated, so he could only retreat in Zhang Xianzhong's curse.

When he withdrew from the attack range of the city, Sun Kewang did not send anyone to chase him, Zhang Xianzhong stopped, his heart was annoyed and dazed, and he was furious for a while, and he wanted to kill everyone in the city directly to vent his anger.

For a moment, I was at a loss, not knowing where to go at this time.

At this moment, a soldier pointed to the distance and shouted: "Your Majesty, that's General Li's men, General Li is here, we are saved." ”

Zhang Xianzhong turned around and looked, and saw dust in the distance, horses' hooves, and a large group of people and horses rushing towards his side, and the first big flag was a big "Li" word.

"It is my son who sets the country, it seems that he actually blocked the official army, and he is worthy of Lao Tzu's confidant. With the help of Dingguo, the city will be broken and Sun Kewang, a dog mongrel, will be killed. Zhang Xianzhong's angry mood instantly improved a lot after seeing Li Dingguo's banner.

He had renewed hope.
