Zhang Xianzhong's eyes were cold, looking at the sentinel in front of him, with a sense of helplessness in his eyes, and said: "Lu Xiangsheng Xuan's main force is here" He looked solemn, looked at Yizi on the side, and took a deep look at the city.

At this time, a thief covered in blood rushed over and said, "King, King, General Liu is dead."

Zhang Xianzhong stared at the city wall fiercely, his heart was like a knife twisting pain, and he wanted to go to the city in person, but reason told him that if he continued to fight, he would be attacked by the Xuanda army behind him.

"Retreat" Zhang Xianzhong hatefully swallowed the sour blood that surged up in his heart again, and the distress of losing his righteous son made him unspeakably sad, but he didn't show this kind of expression at the moment, he glanced at his righteous sons, and left without looking back.

The thieves all seemed to have escaped death, and their faces looked as if they had finally left this terrible place.

**********

The sand and dust covered the sky, the yellow sand covered the sky, the ground trembled slightly, the cavalry, the cavalry of thousands of people, from a distance it looked like a thin black line, from the horizon poured in, they were dressed in iron-inlaid cotton armor, cotton armor is very thick, has always been used to protect against the cold, the weapons in their hands are excellent sabers, many people have horse bows.

A mile further back is the infantry, part of them are dressed in iron armor, holding a long sword in their hands, and they have a strong crossbow and arrows behind their backs, and the other one is wearing a different kind of dress, wearing black clothes, many of them are wearing rattan armor, and the weapons in their hands are mainly wolf xian, bird guns, and javelins, and this is the wolf soldiers, the wolf soldiers of Guangxi are fighting, first the bird gun, and then the iron mark (javelin with poison), and finally the wolf is the enemy.

And the few cavalrymen in front, led by Na Lu Guanlong, looked anxious, and said: "Uncle, quickly, General Qin is stationed in Nanyang City like this, we arrived a quarter of an hour earlier, and General Qin has one more chance of surviving."

The sturdy middle-aged man on the side, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his face was full of determination, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "I'm afraid it's impossible, he only has an army of 2,000, how can he resist Zhang Xianzhong's 60,000 old thieves, how to resist it?" He estimated that Zhang Xianzhong had broken through at this moment, and he was ready to fight a pursuit battle when he went north this time.

"Yes, young general, you also understand the strength of the southern soldiers, hehe" A man on the side was wearing armor, the inner military uniform was black, the skin had a hint of dark yellow color, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and said: "The inland guard is corrupt, how can Zhang Xianzhong fight with the elite?" ”

"But, Brother Qin, but he defeated Liu Guoneng, father-in-law, this can't be faked, right" Lu Guanlong said, his tone was full of anger, and said: "He defeated Liu Guoneng in Jiangbei, this can't be fake, uncle!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng touched his beard and smiled bitterly, and said, "Jiangbei Liu Guoneng? He also saw the battle report, after his analysis, it was probably that he was defeated by Zuo Liangyu before, and then the remnants were defeated by this kid, how could he not believe that this person could have the strength to defeat Liu Guoneng, just as he picked up the cheap, smiled and continued to walk forward.

On the side, Teng Yi, the Guangxi wolf soldier Tusi also nodded and said, "Yes." General"

At this time, the herald sentry suddenly ran towards this side and said, "Report, general, general, Zhang Xianzhong's troops in front are heading to the southeast?" ”

Everyone was surprised, this Lu Xiangsheng originally thought that this Zhang Xianzhong should go north after defeating Nanyang, why did he suddenly turn back, isn't the southeast Zuo Liangyu's troops?

"I'll just say, the thieves can't break Nanyang" Lu Guanlong said, Lu Xiangsheng shook his head, he didn't believe that Xiaochuan could defend the city, what happened here? "Go to Nanyang!" He expected that another nine-sided elite had arrived, or else he had other plans.

"My lord? Shouldn't we go to the Southeast right now? Teng Yi said, with a strange taste in his tone.

"General Teng, we should tighten our pockets at this moment, Zuo Liangyu's 50,000 army, there will be no problem" He said that he continued to step forward, he was still very confident in Zuo Liangyu's warlord, you can't beat it, but your 50,000 army is standing there, how can you hold back the enemy, he now wants to send troops to guard the traffic artery of Nanyang.

By the way, let's see what caused this Zhang Xianzhong to retreat, he is rational and he doesn't believe in miracles, maybe he doesn't believe in miracles since he was a soldier, he has never believed in this kind of miracle of 2,000 wins and 60,000 wins, and he will not believe it, soldiers should be down-to-earth.

*******

Tower, the sun shines down from the city wall, corpses, full of corpses spread all over the ground as far as the eye can see, from which city wall is a pile of corpses, some are about to be as high as the city wall, and the spectacular four rows of shield carts, the shield carts have been beaten to pieces, the corpses on it have been piled up near the shield cart, there is a strong smell of blood in the air, the original turbid yellow moat, has now turned red, the crimson moat, exuding the smell of blood.

The soldiers, one by one, the soldiers of the Tuntian Army stood scattered outside the city, very scattered, they collected the corpse of the thief, the armor of the thief, although they were tired, but they were all determined and hopeful, collecting armor and weapons, as well as all kinds of firearms, very serious.

This! There was a gasping sound, and Lu Xiangsheng and the others were stunned and shocked, looking at this Shura-like battlefield, it was hard for them to imagine that there was such a tragic battle a few days ago, how many thieves and elites here attacked this Nanyang city, the intensity of this siege battle! Lu Xiangsheng looked at the Ming army who were collecting armor one by one and said strangely: "Could it be that the Guanning army is going south?" He thought like this, and it was estimated that there was only one explanation, otherwise how could these Ming troops be so powerful?

Those Ming troops obviously also discovered these soldiers, and Wang Huaiming suddenly shouted: "Enemy, enemy!" The Ming army Tuntian army was silent, just assembled, quickly lined up into a mandarin duck formation, Wang Huaiming stood at the front, because Xiaochuan's proximity had already given him a prestige in the peasant army, standing at the forefront.

"Could it be that Zhejiang soldiers are here!" Lu Xiangsheng said, he couldn't help but think of the Ming Iron Army that drove from the south to the north back then, along the Hunhe River, the elite of the Ming Dynasty who hit the two yellow flags hard, the blood-colored sun and moon flags fluttering on the banks of the Hunhe River, the same mandarin duck array, the same pressure like a mountain, he had a surprise in his heart, the Zhejiang soldiers were not destroyed!

Teng Yi was also shocked, and muttered: "I never thought that the guard was so elite!" ”

"If you wait for the thieves to get off their horses and die," Wang Huaiming said, because he had just joined, so he didn't know anything about the Ming army, maybe the armor he wore was different from his own, and he was a thief in armor.

Looking at an iron gun in the hand of this tall man, Lu Xiangsheng also sighed in admiration, and said: "Below, Lu Xiangsheng, the chief soldier of Xuanda, who are you!" ”

"Qingzhou Weili Chief, Wang Huaiming!"
