Zhu Hongjian retreated with more than 20 soldiers of the Model Army, and many of the soldiers were colored. Just now he rushed up with a platoon, trying to control the situation, and more importantly, to control the silver. At first the situation was good, everything went well, and their sudden attack startled the Shun troops, who were busy grabbing the silver, and they rushed forward, and a platoon of guns and a bunch of bayonets dispersed them all. However, the next thing was beyond Zhu Hongjian's expectations. After those Shun troops retreated, they did not run far, and they soon found that there were not many people in Zhu Hongjian, only about thirty people. The deterrent power brought by this person is not comparable to the temptation of those silver to them, so the Shun army, which had already been dispersed, gathered again and launched a counterattack against Zhu Hongjian and others. Zhu Hongjian and others were outnumbered, and they also lost many brothers, so they had to retreat. Fortunately, the opponent has no intention of chasing them.

As soon as Zhu Hongjian and the others retreated, those Shun troops almost immediately entered a state of infighting. For the sake of silver, they moved their knives against each other. They also knew that the official army was coming soon, and they had to take as much money as possible before the official army arrived, and then escape from the barracks. So the competition is getting more and more fierce.

"Why hasn't Yun Jun arrived yet, if this is the case, how much of this silver will be robbed by them? Blow the trumpet and let the first and third rows come closer to us! Zhu Hongjian said. A trumpeter raised his trumpet and blew it.

Reinforcements do always come slower than expected, especially at night. Although the fire on the side of the Chuang army could be seen from afar, and although Zheng Sen quickly got a report that the Chuang army was in chaos, it was not so easy to immediately organize a group of men and horses in such a dark night. Coupled with the influence of some psychological factors, Zhu Hongjian naturally felt that the reinforcements on his side were too slow.

After waiting for a while, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Company commander, over there...... It seems to be ...... It seems that reinforcements are coming. Zhu Hongjian hurriedly looked back, but saw a group of torches approaching rapidly in the distance, obviously, those who approached quickly with torches at night could only be reinforcements from the model army. However, if you calculate the distance, it is estimated that it will take a while to arrive.

"Company commander, the third platoon is here." Another soldier shouted. Sure enough, I saw that from not far away, the third platoon leader rushed over with three platoons.

"Three platoon leaders, how many people do you have? How many palm thunders do you still have? Let's take stock now. Zhu Hongjian asked.

"Report the number, count the weapons and ammunition!" The third platoon commander hurriedly ordered.

“1、2、3…… 21…… Where are you from? The soldiers reported the numbers one by one, and when they reported to 21, the number suddenly stopped, and the few people in the middle did not speak. The soldiers took a closer look with the help of the firelight and found that these people were actually Shun soldiers. It turned out that when the three platoons were running towards this side just now, these Shun soldiers who didn't know where to run followed in a daze, and everyone didn't notice it for a while, until they reported the number.

The soldiers swarmed up and tied up the fools. Then I counted it again.

"According to the report, there were originally thirty-four people in the third row, but there were thirty-two people. There are five more palm mines. The last three platoon commanders reported.

"Why is there only such a little palm thunder?" Zhu Hongjian shook his head, he still wanted to rush forward again, control the silver, and then hold on until the reinforcements arrived, but to do this, first of all, they needed to be able to easily disperse those Shun troops who were grabbing the silver, and the palm thunder was undoubtedly the most effective weapon to complete this kind of work.

"Damn, hasn't the first row come yet?"

……

The battles that took place at night were always chaotic, so the specific situation was not summarized until dawn the next day.

"There were no more than forty casualties in the entire night attack, and most of the casualties occurred during the battle for the silver dropped by the Shun army? That company commander is very capable! Listening to the report, Zheng Sen said, "Well, Liu De, you continue to read." ”

"Yes, more than 4 million taels of silver were seized, more than 3,000 Shun troops were captured, and thieves and thieves will flee with hundreds of people to abandon the army......"

"Well, let the light cavalry troops set off immediately and go after the Shun army." Zheng Sen ordered, "If you can take Li Zicheng's head, you will give the light cavalry unit a collective first-class merit!" ”

In addition to Li Zicheng, there is no other person in Li Zicheng's group who can replace his position, even Liu Zongmin. Therefore, if Li Zicheng can be killed on the battlefield, it means that the entire Li Zicheng group will fall into a leaderless state, and when the time comes, it will be much easier to eliminate them. And Zheng Sen actually doesn't have much time to continue to spend with Li Zicheng here, King Fu of the prison country is about to enter the Beijing Division, and with the great merit of recovering the Beijing Division, it is justified for him to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne. It's also time to release the prince and others who have been squatting underground to carry out activities.

However, Zheng Sen didn't have much hope that the light cavalry troops could cut off Li Zicheng's head, after all, Li Zicheng fled first, he ran for most of the day first, and then chased him, where was it so easy to catch up? However, after this battle, the elite of the Shun army suffered a lot of losses, and even if Li Zicheng fled back, it would be difficult for him to make up for such losses.

……

By dawn, Li Zicheng had already walked out for more than 20 miles. Along the way, except for the first section, he and those who followed him did not ride horses, but led them. Because they all know that it is relatively safe at night, and at night, the enemy's pursuers cannot gallop or run fast, but in the daytime, that is the most dangerous time, and maybe the enemy's pursuers will rush over. So he had to save the horsepower for daylight.

Now the army around Li Zicheng adds up to only about 500 people, and they have been running all night, and they are also very tired at this time. So the team stopped for a while, and everyone took the opportunity to rest and eat something at the same time. And Li Zicheng and several generals worked together to calculate how long it would take to reach Zhuozhou.

"We are only more than 20 miles away from Zhuozhou, let everyone cheer up, after eating, all get on the horse, don't care about the horsepower, in one breath, we can get there." However, we lost all the troops this time, and it is difficult for those troops in Zhuozhou City to hold Zhuozhou. So when we arrived in Zhuozhou, we would stay for a day at most, and then we would continue to evacuate. Li became a self-enlightened man.

"Your Majesty, what about the materials in Zhuozhou's reserves?" Liu Zongmin asked.

"Tens of millions of silver have been lost, what are these things?" Li Zicheng said, "What can be taken away is taken away, but it can't be taken away, so it's good to burn it with fire, can't we let people eat our leftover grain and grass to chase us?" ”
