After Sun Kewang was announced into the main hall, he knelt down and saluted and said loudly: "My father is wise and martial, and the commander of the official army is really hypocritical, and promised to fight a decisive battle with our army outside the city." This is a reply, please take a look at it. ”

After speaking, he held Di Qing's reply high above his head with both hands.

Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and without waiting for the eunuch to present it, he got up and grabbed the reply in his hand, and after reading it in a hurry, he threw it on the ground and laughed: "Without artillery support, the official army is just a group of local chickens and dogs, and our army will win." ”

Sun Kewang saw that he was still so arrogant, and he lamented even more in his heart.

Today's official army is not the official army of the Ji family's court in the past, whether it is weapons and equipment or the will to fight, it is a world of difference.

This emperor of the Great Western Kingdom is still using past experience to judge today's situation, if such a person is not defeated, it will be called heavenly justice.

This strengthened his determination to throw himself into the imperial court.

However, at this time, he was disdainful in his heart, but he said excitedly on his face: "Father's move is equivalent to waiting for the officers and soldiers to tie their wings, without artillery as a support, with the great prestige of the father, the brave and good fighting of our army's officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers who can definitely kill lose their armor and abandon their armor, and they will not be able to form an army." The son is willing to lead the army as a pioneer, make meritorious atonements, and go down to the city first for his father. ”

His words were sincere, his expression was very sincere, Zhang Xianzhong was happy, let him get up, patted him on the shoulder a few times and laughed: "It's Lao Tzu's good son." This time, let Dingguo play the vanguard, Lao Tzu wants to drive the expedition in person, and let those dog officers and soldiers see that Lao Tzu's knife can still kill people and drink blood. You will lead your troops to defend the city, so that the officers and soldiers will take advantage of the opportunity to steal the city. After driving the officials and soldiers away, Lao Tzu will give you all credits. ”

After that, there was another burst of wild laughter.

Sun Kewang was disappointed on his face, but he was ecstatic in his heart.

If it was in the past, let him defend the city, and let Li Dingguo fight, he would definitely be unhappy and jealous. But now it's right in the middle of it, and I can't ask for it.

At that time, Li Dingguo led troops outside, and he defended the city inside, and after the launch, the two of them should cooperate with the 100,000 troops of the official army, and the great thing will be accomplished.

Zhang Xianzhong soon issued an edict, appointing Li Dingguo as the general of the thief, himself as the generalissimo of the thief, Sun Kewang as the general of the city guard, and the rest of the people were appointed accordingly, announcing that they would fight a decisive battle with the official army outside the city in three days.

In order to show his determination, Zhang Xianzhong even stopped all singing and dancing performances, quit drinking for three days, and prepared for war.

Zhang Xianzhong was immersed in the dream of reviving his prestige at this time, and he did not notice the abnormality of his two confidants.

Even if other people were aware of it, they wouldn't tell him. Li Dingguo calculated this, so he used the name of preparing for war to gather other generals everywhere, and before Zhang Xianzhong knew it, he had become a real loner.

And a contingent of officers and cavalry who appeared outside the city also made the city feel the imminent pressure.

The appearance of this cavalry team made more people realize that a catastrophe was coming, and if they didn't do something, they would inevitably be buried with Daxiguo.

In this case, Li Dingguo's wooing went more smoothly. Even some people took the initiative to come to the door and beg Li Dingguo to pull them.

Although Li Dingguo's words were not obvious, they gave people a strong signal that he had found a way out.

Li Dingguo did not accept those who came, but purposefully selected some generals who held heavy troops but were unwilling to accompany Zhang Xianzhong to the funeral, although the number was only between three or five people, but they were the most important generals under Zhang Xianzhong.

As for civil officials, forget it. In the Great Western Kingdom, civil officials have no status at all, and they are shown to be slaughtered like cattle and sheep, and the only remaining people are also trembling and terrified.

Three days of time in a flash, to the day of the agreed decisive battle, Zhang Xianzhong drove the expedition in person, led more than 100,000 horses to line up on the flat field outside the city, waving flags, neighing of war horses, shining blades, full of voices, hundreds of thousands of soldiers looked boundless, Zhang Xianzhong, who looked high above the cloud car, was complacent, convinced that he could break the official army in one fell swoop, and revitalize the prestige of the eight kings.

In the distance, a huge gray torrent rolled in, and it stopped abruptly two miles away from the Great Western Army and began to line up.

The 100,000-strong army also covered the sky and the sun, but except for the occasional neighing of war horses, it was silent and solemn, far from being as noisy and noisy as the Great Western Army, giving people an invisible and powerful pressure.

Among the countless flags, the most central one is a huge banner with the word "Di" in black characters on a red background, which is particularly eye-catching, and it is unique among the large array of officials and soldiers, and it is hunting and hunting.

Under the banner, a huge cloud car also rose high, opposite Zhang Xianzhong's cloud car, which was obviously where Di Qing, the commander of the official army, was.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at the majesty of the official army on top of the cloud car, and the murderous aura rushed to the sky, and the unified gray military uniform created an incomparable sense of depression, which made him feel serious in his heart.

After all, Zhang Xianzhong was also a veteran of a hundred battles, and he did not plan to learn from Song Xianggong, who paid attention to benevolence and righteousness, so he immediately ordered the forward to launch an attack on the official army, intending to take advantage of the failure of the official army to seriously attack the official army.

The Great Western Army shouted and charged towards the official army, which looked quite panicked and retreated to both flanks, gradually exposing the Chinese army.

Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed and ordered the Great Western Army to continue to attack, the horns were endless, and the drums were bursting, adding a lot of solemn atmosphere to the battlefield.

When the Great Western Army saw that it had broken up the vanguard of the official army and was about to break the central army of the official army in one go, the situation suddenly changed, but it found that the officers and troops with two wings were scattered and outflanked behind them, forming a counter-encirclement of them.

At the same time, a huge roar sounded behind the infantry in front of the official army, hundreds of shells skimmed the sky, and smashed into the dense column of the Great Western Army, the huge explosion broke limbs and flew sideways, blood splattered everywhere, and countless soldiers of the Great Western Army fell to the ground like thatch overwhelmed by the wind.

At this time, the officers and soldiers who copied from the rear also opened fire one after another, and the projectiles flew sideways, and the forward of the Great Western Army suffered from the enemy in the abdomen and back, and countless deaths were lost.

The officers and troops crushed inward on all sides, constantly compressing the positions of the strikers of the Great Western Army like a huge meat grinder, and finally completely engulfed the tens of thousands of forwards of the Great Western Army.

Zhang Xianzhong, who was watching the battle on the cloud car, did not expect that the officers and soldiers would not keep their integrity, and they were so angry that they ordered the left army to rescue the forward, but they were quickly beaten back by the extended artillery fire of the officers and soldiers, and they found nothing except for leaving a corpse.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong finally intuitively realized the horror of the official artillery, and he had already developed a sense of fear in his heart.
